Removing window trim?

Trying to look up how to remove the exterior window trirm (chrome), so it can be vinyl'd.....haven't found anything though. I'm sure it's possible....is it difficult?

Thanks

Don't you apply the vinyl wrap over the chrome trim? At least that's how my trim was covered with black vinyl, or am I not understanding what you are trying to accomplish.

You have to take out the rear window to get the rear window trim piece off... not sure that its DIY material...

I got mine vinyl'd without taking it off... if that helps

It does, I just assumed it needed to be off to vinyl it. Good news, thanks
