The top trim was super easy to pull off. I started taking the trim off at the front door. Just get a flat blade screwdriver behind the trim and gently pry off. Then go along the whole trim and once you get to the back curve it has these slide clips so just pull the trim up. It will make sense when you do it. The lower trim is a serious female dog to take off. Again use a flat blade screwdriver start at one end and gently pry up. It is aluminum so it will bend if you try and pry to hard. It will take some time but so worth it!!
