The chrome strip is held on with "wiggle clips", a spring type clip that pushes into the hole and expands on the other side! Just start at the door handle end with a small pry bar, I use a screwdriver with a bent end, and gently work it under the trim, using a piece of something like a wood shim to protect the door! It will "pop" at the clip when the springing action comes through the hole! Move on to every clip in line and do the same, it's gets easier with every clip!!
