Default Removing chrome trim around window

I was wondering if anyone has removed the lower chrome piece around the rear window. I have a dent there and want to try to hammer it out. It's bothering me. I'm wondering if it's removable without getting damaged. Might be held on by clips. Thanks in advance

I'm thinking you might be able to remove this end trim piece and it slides out?

Easy to remove but should be very careful... Roll the window down first, then start pulling up and toward front door by holding left side (next to driver's door), once you get about 2 inches up, start moving your hands (keep pulling) towards the other ends (to make sure won't get bended). Hope i was clear with my english...

Perfect. I understood it fine. So I guess their just clips. I seen online where someone removed the trim to and just pulled up but I was just worried there was a bolt that was holding it down behind the door panel. I'll give it a try. Thanks
