Not having any luck in locating any details ob trim removal, but with that said, trims are normally held in with external push in clips, or hidden clips behind the trim which requires you to carefully pull back on the trim to release any clips, but go easy as often these clips are only plastic and you may break them.

I will keep looking , but maybe drive to a panel shop and they may be able to show you, often by looking at the trim you can work it out lot easier.
