There are several white clips about 6" apart along the length of the molding. Use a the screwdriver with the rag to pry up on the molding and peak under till you find the first white clip. You can pry up quite a bit. I was able to put a lot of pressure on the clips and none of them broke. Once you find a white clip, shove your chopstick up in there and then use a smaller screwdriver to pop the white clip out of the molding. You have to be really careful about scratching the paint of the door though. Putting some tape down might not be a bad idea. The Haynes manual recommends this for removing other items. For the most part though the directions in the Haynes manual blow!
when i was trying to remove that chrome trim below the windows... the moldings felt like they could just slide off... because there was about an inch of play back and fourth, but the end caps got in the way.... Ill take a look at your method later on today.
thanks
