This is on our helpfull tips section of our website..

An easy way to remove Body Side Moldings without damaging it, is to push the moldings downward and pop the bottom of it out from under the clips. Then lift it strait up to remove. Remember it can be stubborn so sometimes it helps to take a 2X4 about 24" long, rest it on the top of the molding, then tap on the top of the board lightly to loosen the molding. (Remember you are tapping on aluminum, so be gentle.)
