Default Taking off window trim

Hey guys,

Does anyone know how to take off the window trim? Its the part that every 1st gen owner has which is defective and sticks out or makes wind noise.

thanks alot!

I tested this procedure and it works. Don't break the plastic tabs when removing them. I suggest you get some picture-hanging wire and loop it behind the clip so you can pull with even pressure.
