<VV> Rain gutter removal

The rain gutter trim piece is installed by hanging it over the upper edge of 
the gutter, then gently snapping it inward over the lower edge and moving 
along the length, until
you arrive at the end.

So for removal, you reverse this method and start at the front end, with 
your windows rolled down. Sitting on the front seat, you gently tap a hammer 
against a selected section of 2 x 4, slowly sliding the lower edge outward. 
This process works best if the upper rubber window seal is already removed, 
giving you a straighter wood angle against the inner trim edge. You work 
slowly rearward, tapping out just a few inches at a time and the molding 
will release it's grip all along, until you arrive at the rear and lift off 
the car.
