The only part that sucks for me is when the car was painted years ago, the rear windows were not pulled out, so this treatment to my 1/4's have to be done on the car which could be a flippin nightmare if a cuff the paint or scratch the window.

There is a special trim tool needed to release the cips under the trim, they cost about 10 buks you can get one from most paint supply stores, its shaped like an arrow with a handle

I usually start at the bottom of the trim near cowl panel and work my way up, just slide the leading edge of the tool until you feel it hook the clip,gently pull the trim up with one hand while sliding the trim tool up or down, you'll get the hang it's not hard just don't pull on the trim to hard you will feel it release.
