Question Side Trim/Moldings?

I've searched through the forum, but couldn't really find what I was looking for. I'm wondering what is a very good way to remove the trim from the front fender without damaging the car? & Also, what's a good way to put the trim back on? Any kind of adhesive good enough, or?.. Thanks you all in advance!

The sides - including the backside of the front fender - are held on with clips from the factory so you need a nylon prybar to pull them off.

Of course in 20 years who knows whats been done to them. They could have been double sided taped or glued.

Havent ever seen the backsides of any of the trim in front of the wheel so can't help there.

Harbor Freight has a set of nylon prybars for cheap, even if they've been removed before and double side taped they'll come off with those. As for putting them back on, I've used 3M double sided trim tape in my shop for years without any problems.
