Chrome trim removal?

Any Idea how to remove the chrome trim around the back window without damaging it. I'm looking to replace the piece on the bottom and corners (clips underneath are broken) by the trunk.

It's a real pain in the arse. If you don't want to break the clips, you have to be very careful with a screwdriver or buy one of those trim removal tools. If they're broken, but is still held against the body(which is should since the corner pieces are slid into the long straight pieces), then don't worry about it too much. You may end up breaking more of those clips than saving.
