    Since my car is apart, I can show you how its done. The first picture is how the clip looks installed on the post. The trim slides underneath it. In the second picture, you can see how you have to slide the tool under the trim and hook the back of the clip. Then just pry it off. Always pry on the clip, not the trim.

    It's the 3rd tool. You only want to slide tool under topof clip to allow trim to release.Clip will stay on until you remove the windshield rubber.There may also be some butyl or urethane holding the trim so lift carefully. Also good idea to have a utility knife to cut sealer.
