If it's a 3rd gen I just did mine. Using a small flat tip, a rag and patience. I laid the rag on the car all the way up to the trim. Took the small flat tip screwdriver and inserted it into the rag and inserted the tip between the paint and trim and pried gently until it popped off the clip. Continue to work around the trim. Do not force it up or you will bend the trim. I did not scratch the paint and did not bend the trim. This is the 3rd time I did it like this.
Good luck.

Yes Rudy that is the same tool I use to remove my rear windows, 3rd gen also. Those are available at a good parts store.

This is how I removed the trim. Lay a rag on the window so you don't scratch it, slide the hook end of the tool down between the glass and the trim, slide it along until you snag a clip, while pulling on the clip gently pull the trim up with your free hand. Might take a bit of time to get the trim off the clip, or it might come right off. Once you get the first one to pop the rest are a piece of cake.
