Can’t remember for sure but I think they just snap into a separate plastic piece that sandwiches the fender between them.
Pretty much. You need to remove your fender liner, then it is a two piece deal. The retainer which goes inside the fender needs to be compressed (or expanded, I don't remember) which will release the vent which is on the outside of the fender. It's all 10 year old GM plastic so you want to be careful with it but the first side took me about 20 mins to figure out, the second I was done in like 5 including removing the tire. Hard to describe but once you see how it goes together, it is easy.

Thanks!
Do you think there's any way to do this without taking the tire off?

Raise and support vehicle.
Remove the front wheel and tire.
Remove the rear portion of the front wheelhouse liner.
Remove the fender ornament from the inside of the wheelhouse opening by releasing the three integral tabs on the inboard side of the front fender ornament.
Hope that helps get you started.
For the front vents, this is not necessary. All I did is use a credit card to slide between the vent and duct. There are 4 clips that hold the black insert in place. I also put blue painter's tape around the vent on the painted areas to prevent any accidental scratching of the paint. The 4 clips are located about 1/4 way down on each side. You can locate them when you slide the credit card down one side. Once the tabs are all released, the vent pops out easily and the new one snaps in.
