You need to get a tool to do it. The one I have looks like an arrow head. Harbor Freight carries them and two other tools in a pack for about $5 or so.

Here it is: Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices

That tool works quite slick, What you do is get behind the clip that holds the trim, then move the tool to push the clip away from the cab frame, and the trim comes right off.

You can just slip a putty knife under the molding and pop it out.

I do it all the time and never have any problems.
