    They do come apart once unbolted from the bonnet. The "chrome" fin part can then be properly cleaned and polished and the painted part can be waxed separetely. If it's the black inner part thats coming off y ou could probably mask and respray it easily enough. When I did this they looked like brand new as so many have dull chrome fins or marks from polishing that you struggle to get out on the car.
