Exterior Door Trim Panel - How do these come off?

Like the title says - How do you safely remove these black door trim pieces without damaging them?

Mine are in need of a makeover after 30 years, and I've just never needed to remove them until now.    Thanks for the help!

To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.

Exterior Door Trim Panel - How do these come off?

It looks like you have a 83-86 car which is different than the 87-88 cars.  Its been over 15+ years since I removed mine to paint but I want to say the rear quarter windows have screws and they come off pretty easy where the door pieces have a spring mechanism that is a bit more involved but not that bad.

Here is how the door piece comes off:
