Removing Window Trim? (Vinyling Entire Car)

Well, i'm finally wrapping my entire car and last night I took my first attempt at it with the boot, and this is how it turned out.

Removing Window Trim? (Vinyling Entire Car)-i6zdkzj.jpg

Everything went well minus the fact that I couldn't for the life of me get the trim piece to come off easily since it clicks on so tight. Anyone have advice for removing it for the back two fender panels? I'm going to have to purchase a new trim for the boot but rather see if I don't have to buy two other trim pieces as well.

Thanks! I hope someone knows of a way to remove this stuff.

I can't for the life of me figure out which trim you mean! Might be why no responses yet...

Good luck!

Ah.... The beltline. Do a search for beltline, and there is a link a ways down referring to plasti-dipping his beltline. Takes patience to remove, he said...
