Removed the caps before - now I have 3 spares of them

My concern is that my LH one is a bit damaged: front rail slightly bent & one or two clips broken or missing.
What would be your counsel?
Swapping rail & clips for good ones?
How can I take off the rail without damaging it even more?

As I can see Ron did it firstly removing the genuine black finisher:

Try firstly on the finisher.
If you aren`t satisfied - you are able to refit it using 3M double sided tape - the genuine one is a bit weak. It will be boring and a bit difficult removal of what is left, but...
