Default Wheel Well Fasteners

How do I go about removing those strange fasteners in the wheel well? I know that's a stupid-new-guy type of question, but I have honestly never seen those before. I couldn't really find anything when I searched through the forum Thanks in advance

You pull the centre pin out and then the fastener comes out easily.

Thank you! I was afraid to start pulling on one. I saw that little slot in the side, and thought that there was some kind of special trick.

I believe that the small channel on the fastener should be orientated downwards to drain water.
