I thought they were attached to the glass. Ummmm... forget the razor blade.
I don't know if the alcohol pads will remove wax. The solvent most definitely will.

Update:
I had limited space inbetween the louver and car, however I ended up fixing the front and lower corner of the louver by using fishing line to get a majority of the 3M tape off and then used fine sand paper to get the remainder off. I bought the 91% alcohol from Walmart and wiped down the car and the backside of the louver, applied new 3M super duty double sticky tape from Home depot, peeled the backing off and restuck to the car. I held the corner down for about 60 seconds and then kept re-checking to make sure it wasn't unsticking. It took me about 2 hours (and blisters on a couple of fingers) which is way longer than it took me to install both louvers! Hopefully, this works.....only time will tell. Mustang is sitting in the garage, hopefully curing!! Again, I appreciate everyones suggestions and help!
