Removing door/trim molding

All: I am in the process of taking off various stainless steel trim pieces, and have the "Book", but can't seem to find the right tool to pop off the trim that runs through the middle of the door-72 S model. And the molding along the top of sail too (small nuts can be seen from inside trunk, so I guess rear interior panels will be removed). Anyways, there is a small welded stud, then a small clip, and then the door trim pops on to that. Any suggestions on the tool to use, or how to get it off? Thanks

Hi Steve
On the door trim don't forget to remove the two end screws first. Then I like to use a thin screwdriver or putty knife to gently pop them off, while gently twisting the end with my hand. The key word is "gently" so you don't go too far and tweak it. But that's how I've removed this trim. John
