I am not sure what is involved on removing the alum. trim for your application but I remove the alum. trim along the rain gutter of my 67 Dart GT w/an old-fashioned bott;le opener w/o any bends, nicks, bending or distortion whatsoever; just start at one end and lift gently while moving along the trim piece; flawless.

You must remove them very carefully starting on one end. Personally if at
all possible, I try not removing them when refinishing a car because it seems
they always end up with a different bend in them and never look the same again.
Been working in bodyshops 20+ years and watching other bodymen trying to
pull them too. Always seems they are never the same once pulled. Most are now
hard to find for replacements too. I'm not saying it can't be done, but you
must be very careful when attempting to pull drip moldings as they can bend very
easily. I've always started on the end that seems to come up and carefully
work it upwards until it releases on the bottom side. My personal preference
is to leave them alone and work around them. Most bodymen I have worked around
also agree as most of us have found out the hard way at one time or another.
This is the only area in regard to trim I try not to disturb unless I must.
