get a grinder, and just grind them down finely - they are only spot rivet type things. Once you get the bracket ground down far enough, they should just pop off easy. Then sand the heads back.

Thats how I did mine anyways and it was really neat and pretty simple, just take your time.

Use a 1mm grinding disc. easier for fine work

The spot weld bit works good, but if you are a bit rough like me you might end up with a 10mm hole in your sill :lol:

This is what I used. Quick and easy with no holes left when you're done. I used a thicker disc though, 3-4mm? thick. It was easier to use a big blunt edge than a fine edge. Just go really slowly so you don't end up grinding the sill as well.
