How To: Remove chrome window trim

Sounds like there's a lot of people having trouble with this, so I pulled mine off and took pictures.

Step 1 - Remove screws
Front:

Rear:

Step 2 - Remove trim

You need to apply firm pressure when trying to slide the trim horizontally. Once you're able to slide it out about an inch (see pic), then you can start pulling up and wiggling it out. Here's a picture showing which direction each piece of trim needs to be slid, and in what order.

I sprayed these with Plasti-Dip: Plasti-Dipped my Window Trim

Thanks. I try to take pics of everything, so I'll be putting out more how-tos in the future.
