Scuttle vents are careful prising with a flat tool.

Door strips have a 10mm plastic nut inside the rear inside face of the door and then slid/pulled off their clips.

Just looked at the link. I just lever up the spring clips at the bottom, but I suppose you can unhook the top fixed clips if you can slide the whole thing downwards and compress the spring clips enough. Possibly slightly less chance of paint damage.
