This is a scalp molding that is held on by friction.  Start at the front and
pry it outward from the bottom of the drip rail, gently working it off.  It
may take a bit of a curve coming off, but don't worry, because the drip rail
will hold it straight when you put it back on.

These are held in with little clips.  There is a tool to pull the clip away
from the trim.  When the clip is disengaged, the trim can be pulled up.

This is the safest way; these were generally pressed into little retainers
and can be pried off, but I know that some of the repops come with speed
nuts, and anyway, if you can push the stud from the back, you're less likely
to break it taking it off.
