How do I remove Cab Molding?

Hi there! I'm new to the forum and have searched for an answer to this question, but can't find any info. I need to remove the SS corner cab molding and replace with new ones. I know they're mounted with some sort of clips behind them, but how the heck do you remove and replace them?? Details pleez!

There are speed nuts that are accessible from inside the cab. You have to reach up there a little bit, but they are there.

After the corners are removed, the back piece should just slide off.

Re: How do I remove Cab Molding?

Thanks everyone. What I didn't know was that you have to remove the rear speakers, then go behind the cardboard backing and reach up inside the wall of the cab to get to the speed nuts. But I was able to get them done yesterday. Thank you!
