Help with interior trim panel removal

I ordered RK Sports carbon fiber sill covers. I need to remove the plastic trim piece that goes between the door sill and the carpet to install the new sill cover. Does anyone have any advise or pictures on how this is done? I hate to just start pulling at it and break it.

Thanks in advance

By the way if anyone has been considering getting these covers with the C5 logo painted on and covered with clear coat better act now as they have discontinued this type. They will be sending the plane covers and a stick on C5 decal when current inventory sells out. A copyright problem I was told. :(

Thanks, I guess I'm just old school. I expect to see things held together with screws.

For the sake of piling on, yep just pull up firmly but gently (whatever that means) and it pops off
