Removing trim question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Before I created this, I did a search for how to remove the Cab and Lower moulding, without breaking anything, but couldn’t find anything pertinent

As far as the cab moulding goes:
Do the little plastic clips slide sideways to unlock from the stud?
On the Lower Body Moulding:
Is there a way to unlatch the mounting clips without destroying them?
Thanks in advance

On the cab paint divider trim ,You can use a plastic trim tool to pop the 2 clips on the outside end behind the door and then carefully slide the trim out , When installing that same trim you set the top edge of the trim on the new clips and with a glancing blow with the palm of your hand snapping the trim into place , You can't slide the trim back in place without taking the chance of scratching the paint . , if your saving the trim to reuse after paint consider polishing it while it's still in place .
