Don't rush it and rip them off. Take the time and do it right. Remove them from the inside. :goodjob:

I've taken that molding off many MANY times and I see no need to rip anything off my car when there's a 'correct' way to do it. If you took your car to the dealership to replace one of those moldings would you want them ripping them off? Probably not.
I learned a long time ago that if you force something, it will bite you back.
this is jmo and the way I would do things. You can use a hammer for all I care.
