They can be fragile, so take extra care when removing them.

Your paint job will look better with the trims removed. There will be not paint residue on the rubber with different color underneath it.

Ditto the above^^^ also the rear side3 windows are "glued" into place, as is the hatch glass/rear glass.

Removing the read side glass without damage is a trick and should be left to someone that knows what they are doing, [auto glass shop]

For the hatch or rear window a wire trim "lift' is best bet, what I did was force 16ga wire under the window trim to lift it off the body then masked it, no masking tape lines or getting paint off trim. 94
