how to remove the trim molding on the split rear door just below glass

how do i take the trim molding off ?
, i don't want to break it cuz it's $90 to replace.
i need to remove the rear glass and the molding is holding the bottom of the glass.
thanks for help.

Be careful! I believe the rear glass is bonded to the door frame also.
