Get a set of Bojo Trim removal tools...

Start at the tailgate end and you have to snap the 1st clip off where the end bung is. then you have to snap the other clips as you go along & roll the gutter trim from the roof to the door side...

It's not that hard to do just difficult to explain...

A guide in pictures



Thats one way but I start at the other end and when you get to the a pillar you can simply pull the rail up the pillar and off....

Thats how the guy who painted my car suggested how to do it....
