Start with the center piece first near the junction where it meets a side piece. Begin by pulling up, away from the glass. I suppose you could use something to pry with if you cant get it up far enough to get a good grip on it - I'd suggest prying near the glass because a pry tool is less likley to damage the glass than the paint. I didn't need to pry with a tool but you can if you want.
There are 5 clips under the center section, also 5 matching clips attached to the car. Clips are attached with double-sided mounting tape. When I pulled mine off most of the clips released from each other as they should but a couple of the clips clung to each other and the mounting tape is what released. Don't worry about breaking clips (they're steel) the worst that can happen is the mounting tape will come off. If that happens, clean good and use new mounting tape to put the clip back where it belongs. I don't want anyone adding to the thread about losing surround pieces while going down the road. Once the center section is off you will have the confidence to yank off the side pieces in the same manner.

You may be right. I think the original contributor was just concerned that anyone trying to pry from the top may dent the metal as apposed to prying from the glass side. It's been so long ago but I seem to remember that I only had to get under the edge on top and pull up to get the first clip to release and the rest came up with no problems. I originally pulled the top portion of mine because one of the clips was seperated from the taped backing on the clip. I opted to apply RTV to the clip and let cure and all has been great for a couple of years now.

Syfi, A new post today about trim coming off included a picture of the clips together. I think your suggested method is correct. I copied, zoomed in, and cropped that picture. It appears that at the back of the two clips (top of photo), the bottom clip folds over the top clip which would make it difficult to remove first.
