Window Trim Removal

I've tried searching but haven't had any luck on this topic. As the title states I am wondering if anyone knows how to remove the trim, that or if it can be removed and reused. Thus far I have "DIY'd" the drivers side of my car with matte black vinyl and for the most part am happy with it. Unfortunately I am a perfectionist and would ideally like to remove it and wrap it and reinstall.

On a side note and slight rant, those who attempt this mod it is a royal PITA! Took about 2hrs to do one side, though that doesn't include the time I spent redoing the front drivers door (additional 1.5hrs). There is a definite learning curve, though I can honestly say it can be done with the proper amount of patience. The rant part has to do with the area under the side mirror, fuuuuu that was a royal whip! In the end I have saved some coin doing it myself, though I would be lying if I didn't say I have contemplated paying someone to do the other side.
