start with abig flat screw driver and gently pry or tap out starting at the end by the door handle with door openworking the bottom side of the trim out and up and work toward the windshield the tough part is if the windshield is in it is harder but take your time !!! cant say any thing about the re install as i have yet to install mine ??? i want to install a tinted shaded windshield first before i do the trim

an old style or flat type can opener works good, the one that puts a triangular hole in the can. you get good leverage and I wraped mine in take to keep from scratching the molding.

You may want to put something under whatever you use as a pry tool to keep from damaging the paint.

Little Red 71 think about doing the trim first. W/S is safer that way. I use rope like sm engine starter rope to pull rubber over pinch weld.
