Who here has removed the top window trim?

I prefer to pull them off rather than leave them on the car to get painted or wrapped...I know this has been asked before but still havent found anyone who has pulled them off. Has anyone done it and got any tips?

I didn't remove the window trim all the way around, but check out my post from this evening. It might help you get started...

I asked this awhile ago.. I was told that it is very hard to remove, and that they have seen shops break them while removing them from the car... I just ended up using black out tape. Turned out GREAT!

It is very easy to pull out. Start from the front and slide a screwdriver under it and pop it up, then pull slowly until you get to the back. It is just clips and they wont break.

Please do! All this talk about breaking and bending the trim makes me feel like it's REALLY fragile and I might mess it up.
