Door pillar trim

[Beno]

Gents, Does anyone know how to remove/replace the black trim on the doors. The paint on the drivers door on my C class (W203) has started to bubble. My local MB dealers have advised me its not covered on the paint warranty (There's a surprise) So I priced up a replacement £31 from the same dealers but I can't see how it comes off, and don't want to damage the paint prizing the old one off.

cheers Tony

Double sided tape and possibly a securing screw hidden under the rubber. I need to replace one of mine as I managed to rip a piece of the rubber off! Dealer advised it's stuck on with tape and some have the screw as well.

I just notice i have the same issue on mine. How does it go with changing the trim? And where can it be sourced from?
Cheers
