Carefully remove any other moldings that go over the driprail ones. Working from the bottom use a small block of wood, hold it against the rolled over bottom section of the molding and tap gently with a hammer away from the car. Start at the front and work toward the back, you want to "peel" the molding off the steel without kinking it. If it doesn't want to move try some WD-40 at the molding edge. Once you you have popped the bottom edge outward it should easily detach from the top. Good luck!
