Does the trim highlighted in yellow below, just lift up from the door? Or a special tool is needed?
I want to replace the rubber seal which is below that trim piece but unsure how the seal comes out from the instruction below:

yes, it just lifts off. Be careful, take your time, the trim bends easily so lift it gently.

Good to know. Thanks.
Would any of these trim tools aid in the lifting up?

Maybe #'s 2 or 10, but to be safe I used my fingers. It just pulls right up, like I said, just be careful (Unfortunately I think I have removed my trim more than any other member, around 6 or 7 times )

The end towards the rear wants to lift itself up on its own anyway, so it just needs a quick hand
The clips which hold the trim in are on the actual rubber seal right?
