Default Driver's side window trim removal help on 2013 ES350

Hey everyone-Just bought my 2nd Lexus, a 2013 ES 350 and finding a few minor things I need to fix. I have been spending a few hours on these forums and so much info.

I have not been able to find some guidance on removing the chrome trim around the front window on the driver's side. Reason for that is the exterior pillar trim at the top of the drivers side door is not flush. It looks like whatever it attached to had busted and it was on the chrome trim. I took some pics and attached them. How do you remove the trim? Looks like it's riveted in? Can I just use a trim puller? Is there a special tool?

Also if anyone can think of a way to fix the plastic pillar so that it is flush to the door instead of pulling the trim, that would be fine also. Thanks in advance for all the advice.
