96-00 civic side molding removal
There's a specific clip removal tool but you can get away with a couple of flat heads on either side to push the tabs inward so that the clip can pop out of the door skin.
On my 91 I discovered that the clips themselves were all oriented the same way into the molding. I was able to tap the molding forward which released the clip from the molding itself. I'm not sure that the newer ones are the same way but maybe you can tap it lightly just to see if it budges.

Removing the interior allows access to the back of the clips, most of them you can use needle nose pliers on them. I think only one has to be forced out, the one in the rear by the wheel arch.
