I would just mask it off on the car if I were you instead of risking damage removing it. If you do take it off it should just be held on with adhesive...you can try heating it with a heat gun but don't melt the plastic.

You could also just !molding all together - the 4thgens look sharp with no side moldings.

And what is that purpose? They're not ding guards because they're not on the furthest-poking out section of the door. I agree with TPI, !moldings. Get rid of them. It makes the car look much cleaner.

i was thinking abt removing them, thats why i asked befor i take it in, if i like it without i wont redo em, if i dont i redo them 
so heat gun it? ive heard using fishing line, and like sawing? (lack of better term) i know people do it to debadge their cars but often it isnt painted underneath and i dont want to risk screwing up the paint

^dayum lol I gotta find those type of chicks to pose with my car
I sprayed some wd-40 along the top edge of the moldings. Let it sit for 15-20 mins. Then I used a plastic putty knife to separate the molding from the door. I didn't have a heat gun and a hairdryer was taking too long. Finally, I used Goo Gone to get rid of any leftover adhesive.

heat gun and some fishing line. Work it back and forth behind the molding like a saw. some heat is built up but spray some "goo gone" on it while u work to kill and heat. Also wipe off any extra adhesive with the goo gone whe the molding comes off.

I had mine sit in the sun then just pulled it off by hand. I think I got lucky though, most of the adhesive came right off with the side molding. If it doesnt go easy use a heat gun/hair dryer like said. A putty knife would probably work wonders or a cheap plastic knife without the serrated edge.
