I made a tool I use that slips under the chrome and pops it up from the clip side. It's essentially a thin lever just made out of an old bracket put in a vice and hammered over slightly. Takes it off w/o any trouble. They key is to place it under the trim right where the clips are or you will distort the chrome. You can slide it along and feel where the trim is tighter, and that is where the clips are.
Regardless, if you are reinstalling the chrome, you will need new clips if you want it secure. You can also go the more modern rubber route. Attached image(s)
