they are held on bythree or four plastics clips that snap into the a-pillar. You should be able to pop them off with some gentle prying and pulling. trim removal tools are made for helping pop the clips out. The end is like a fork and you slide it under the trim piece and use it to pry up on the clip. But you don't have to have one to get it off.

+1. It seems that most of our interior parts are just held in my clips. And a flat head screw driver at crafty angles works too if you don't want to buy the trim removal tool.
