Uhhh . . . you can try wrapping electrical tape around a "can opener" and then very very very carefully use that to pry up on the chrome . . . I have done that in past, just gotta go slow, use lots of tape on the can opener and you should be able to get off without denting

What are you working on? On my Challenger, the drip rail trim is held on with screws and comes right off. The weather stripping channel has to be removed first to access the drip rail screws.

Windows rolled down with a block of wood as a drift and lightly hammer up and outward along the bottom edge works too sometimes. Takes several passes to get it off without kinking it or denting it. Bottle opener works, but be careful as it can leave marks too.

Bottle cap opener the aluminum one, had one in the drawer forever and got me thinking it might work. So I had a car out back that still had the drip mold on it and tried it, worked super, no dent or marks. Needed this for many years and cars and there it was in my junk drawer all the time.

Just a update.

the above worked perfectly!

Entire car took less than 15 minutes, and not one ding/bend.

Thanks everyone, now added to my weird stuff drawer.
