Should be able to figure it out from this piccy, glue is all the way down the inner wing panel.

start at the front remove the indicator and while gently pulling outwards cut the mastic and it will peel away then the rest should manipulate away by wiggling

It depends how enthusiastic the guy with the seam sealer gun at the factory was on that day - some are quite easy to remove, and others are almost impossible as so much has been applied.

 

Start with the indicator area as Andy says, then the lower part in front of the door, slowly working your way up and around the arch. A serrated blade can help with cutting the sealer if it's particularly thick, and above all, be gentle with the wing as they're quite flimsy and easy to bend/damage if you start pulling on it too hard.
