Chrome trim removal question - 260C

Hi guys anyone know how to remove this piece of chrome moulding from a 330 260C?
I've got the rest of that section off and taken the single screw out holding it but it won't come off and I don't want to force it until I know how it comes off.

This bit here, it's the rear part of the trim that goes over the doors and is attached to the body.

Cheers

I use a wide bit of wood sit it in behind the chrome and soft hits of a hammer onto the wood
So damage yet

Yip was just about to say the two bolts from the inside - you have to remove the rear "c" piller cover to get to them.

If you snapped them off i do have spares :D :D

260Cs have pretty much everything bolted or screwed down - even the sill trims have hidden bolts holding the end caps on lol

Na no paint just yet, was investigating a little bit of rust.
I might grab a replacement off you though, I got it off safe then managed to break the plastic cap on the bottom edge haha
Actually there's a few things I'm looking for now, I'll send ya a PM
