Default !molding!

How do you take the molding off, is it a press on with stick or bolted or ? I really like the looks of it off, but would like to know how to do it and how much work is involved.... thanks

Just to give you a little hint from someone who has done this VERY recently, I used a pair of Vice grips, pinched the molding, and got it started, then take a Hair dryer, and pull slowly, and most should come off with the molding itself.
