How to remove window trim??

Guys,
So I was originally just going to wrap the chrome trim...but after some additional review, I think I'm going to have them painted.

That being said, I can't find any reference on how to (safely) remove the window chrome trim. I did a search on there, but didnt come up with anything....although it's possible I used the wrong search term.

I did find a trim removal video on YouTube for a W204, but our trim isn't the same (end caps and such).

Ultimately I really don't want to break it...and I'd rather remove and paint them if at all possible.

Thanks!

Are you going to paint them yourself? If not why not have the body shop remove them?

Two reasons:

1) I may paint them myself. The estimates I've received are a bit overpriced (~$1000).

2) If I do have the shop paint them, I can save quite a bit of $$ by removing them myself.

Are you familiar with how they come off?

Thanks,

No I'm not or I would offer help.I will say that if the trim is wrapped correctly it can look very good .
