If you mean the black / chrome trim bits on the doors - i looked at mine today and theyre only held on with double sided tape - But my car has had a respray at some point in its life so im unsure if yours would be the same. If that is the case, sliding something like a credit card under it to start peeling it off - or if its really stubborn, very carefully use a hair dryer

I have a TC and TD out the back for parts so checked. The strips on both pulled off no probs. probably would be better to use a hair dryer to soften if you want to save them. (paint stripper gun too hot)
cheers
