2014 E350/A207 Door Sill Molding Removal

Can anyone tell me how this trim piece is removed? I've been tugging on it for an hour in various directions and can't get it to budge. The piece with the red arrows pointing to it.



Thanks.

Try using a plastic wedge starting at front.

Thanks, man! I pretty much destroyed the driver's side piece getting it off. So now I'm off to find a replacement. I ordered a generic wedge from Amazon.

I've found that even with the available information, it's the little things like this that make working on these cars challenging and time consuming. i.e. All the body clips/fasteners, mystery electrical connectors etc. because there's no information in the docs about their mechanical design. You basically learn by trial & error, and in this case, cost.
