Start by adding painters tape under the chrome molding. Then wrap flat tip screw drivers or your panel removal tool of choice and gently pry up until you hear a pop.  Just lift it a little.  You'll need to tuck the tab of the trim piece into a little slot under the trim.

And here it is the door closed.  Voila!  Gives the car a sense of premium.

Here it is installed.  You'll notice the trim sticks up just ever so slightly on the door. Maybe 1mm or less.  You can trim with a razor blade (carefully of course w/ the door fully taped) or you can leave it alone.  I chose to leave it alone for now.

This is how the trim piece looks fully pressed in.  Peel the upper strip of tape's backing film away from the piece and slowly press the trim piece against the door. Make sure it's snugly and securely in the channel before you press down on the tape.  It should look like this.

This is a view of how the trim sticks up ever so slightly.  I may trim it in the coming days.  I'll see how I feel.  Otherwise the trim is a perfect fit.  It does look slightly weird where it curves downwards towards the door but it's very very minor. It's a 98.5% fit.  Good enough for me!

Tape off your door and tape some flat head screw drivers up. Use two to evenly distribute pressure upwards towards the sky on the chrome trim. You'll need to lift this to tuck the trim piece tab underneath.

Before actually installing the trim piece, clean the channel out with some alcohol. Do this multiple times to rid of any grease or wax.

Line up the trim to practice where to put it.  You simply press the chrome piece back down with your fingers

See the round tab sticking out? It tucks naturally into the little cutout under the chrome trim.
