How do you remove side molding on 100 series?

[mmcolorado]

I searched and couldn't find this information. I have a 2005 Land Cruiser inside moldings are faded like everyone's. I plan to replace them with some knock offs I found on eBay. Does anyone know if these are held on with clips or adhesive or both?

Both, body adhesive along the top and bottom, clips down the middle.

Are the side moldings mounted with double sided tape or plastic tabs that would leave a bunch of holes.

I've never removed. But they're combo tape and clips. Here's inside a door view, a of clip.

just worked on this over the weekend. gave them a plasti dip refresh after my passenger's door tape started to fail

quite easy to redo the tape and install with new clips, as every clip cracked upon removal
