Any input on once I pull the trim out, can I re-use it.

Yes, the clips are reusable. I removed the molding with a plastic trim puller and gently popped out the 13 clips. The clips stay attached to the molding and shouldn't get damaged or deformed under normal circumstances. I've done this a few times now because the ones on my car are dented and I've been on the hunt for clean ones in better shape from junkyard cars to get wrapped.

@salimshah I saw the following thread at the bottom of this one when viewing the desktop version of these forums.

I'm out of town at the moment or else I would have also posted some pics, but that thread illustrates things perfectly. I used the same orange plastic trim tool.
