Here's a PDF file for installing the out B pillar panel.
Also look on Youtube. Search Mercedes chrome trim removal. Several videos showing various models. Same principals across most models.

Thanks again. That's the same video I watched along with other videos but remember that we have frameless doors this is not the same car although most of the others like a e-class and a C-Class will be the same or even an s class. But when I tried to do that my Chrome bent and the other one broke and he did not come out there's something still holding it
I have CLS 257 (not same car but similar) and recently wrapped the window trim and it pull out just fine. Have to be firm and slow. As you get to the end you need to pull up and to the right.
By the way, if you are looking to wrap/chrome delete, no need to take it off. Actually better if you don't take it off. You can use knife less tape to cut the bottom.

May I ask why you want to pull it? Is it to delete chrome with Wrap or Hyper Dip?

I really appreciate you guys for replying. I made it work I guess I was not pulling hard enough since one of them was stucks for some reason and I bent it.
You guys were right I was able to pull it up and out.
Yes I started a wrapping project. Little by little until I eventually finish.

Yes, I'm wrapping the whole car! Started my wrapping project. The color I selected was the Satin Pearl White for the body. It almost looks like chrome when the sun hit it, sometimes looks gray, and sometimes looks like a faded pink lol 😆 for the trim I chose the Black Stealth Small Pattern Camouflage. Little by little until I eventually finish. I'm using the probrand VVIVID brand for the project. I always used their products and was always happy with the results. This time I'm using the xpo film. Those are made with polysol mixture and rated to last 5-7 years. I usually used to the Plus+ but thought this give this one a try. It is a bit harder to use and doesn't like heat. the color I selected was the Satin Pearl White for the body.

I have NOT decided on the roof yet.
