Default AU ute qtr window surround trim removal

Can anyone give advise on how to remove the plastic surround trim without breaking it?

I am reluctant to remove but if possible without damage I will remove.

Cheers

There are two plugs on the inside of the trim, these just click in/out. However there is also sikalfex holding it in place.

You have to *very carefully* slice the sikaflex while gently prying the b pillar trim away from the window.

Be careful, as it's very easy to bend the plastic trim!

I've attached pics of the b-pillar with trim removed, I'm not sure if every ute released has the sikaflex in the same spot, but it's probable.

Thanks for the advise.
Following this I removed the surround without damage.
You can see why the sikaflex has to be sliced with a sharp knife or damage occurs.
