They literally just pull off, i used a screwdriver to prise them initially then theres enough room to do the rest with your fingers

 

How about the ones along the doors?

I had no problem with the front and rear, using that technique, but when I went at the ones on the doors, I got nervous and stopped.

Do I just need to give them a good pull?

 

yeah just man up ;ol;

 

i used a plastic trim removal tool i bought at canadian tire.

worked well. it's just little pegs that pop into eyelets. don't lose the pegs, as they will fall off

 

Good call, I was thinking I would just tape and newspaper off all my trim and spray them while on the car, but if they pop off pretty easy I'll go probably go that route, please let me know how this works out for you..

 

it'll seem like you're about to break it as you're taking it off, but their quite flexible, just make sure to pry as close to the pegs as you can and apply a steady, even pressure, don't reef on it or you can risk damaging the brackets that hold the pegs. they make a snapping noise akin to plastic breaking coming off, but it's normal, you'll see when you get it off

 

I took them all off today, worked like a charm, thanks.. I ended up going with plasti dip since i used it to seal some rubber on the top of my windshield.. I tested a corner to see how it would look before i did them all..

The only tricky part was the middle sides.. when popping the one further back of the two, start from the side that is closest to the rear of the car, because the end piece has a slight hook that slides out instead of pops and it is easy to slide out when the rest of that trim strip is already popped out..

real easy if you start from the back side on that strip and if your strips are set up like mine..

 

personally, i didn't plastidip, i sanded and primed, and then painted, but I also have had tons of time to notice that primering looks a lot better at work so I took that route instead

 

Yeah I imagine it would last much longer as well.. I wanted something quicker and wasn't ready for the transition from rough textured trim.. The plasty dip has been on for a month, I've put about 3500 miles and through some big storms and she is still holding wonderfully..

 

I did plati-dip/polyester spray my wiper trim on the lower part of the window, it looked good, but its starting to peel now, so in the spring i'll probably take it off and repaint it
