They don't clip off, easily.... at least mine didn't when I removed all of them from a rear door.

The trims are shaped to wrap the door frame, and need to be bent slightly to be removed from the frame, then bent some more to access and cut through the silicone holding them to the frame.

I had to remove mine as I was swapping doors, I wouldn't remove and refitt unless there was no other option.

What piece of trim is not straight?
