The trim is 2 interlocking pieces. To get to the screws that hold them on, you need to remove the thick black rubber insulation that the windows slide up onto. I believe you also have to remove the trim pieces from the inside of the car too.

Like MEK said, once you remove the weatherstip, you'll figure it out. There are probably a dozen screws under there holding on the channel for the weatherstrip and then after you get that off you will see more screws holding on the moulding.

hello,
It helps once you pull the screws to heat it up a little with a heat gun or your wife hair dryer. Not a torch! lol :) there rather simple to take off, just pull the weather strip back real slowly a little at a time be sure not to tare it, then theres a bunch of screw holing the inner on then the drip rail will have some screws on it also that you will have to pull the just heat it up a little and carefully pull the drip rail off, be sure not to twist it or bend it!
good luck,
Jesse
