Removing/fixing trim

I’m slowly working my way through many cosmetic faults with my car and I’ve a few I could do with some help. The car was very dirty originally and I found what I thought was signs of a respray. It turns out it hasn’t been resprayed, it had actually been wrapped in matt black and when it was removed it had left glue everywhere. I’ve spent days wiping dirty and green algae glue out of all the seams and trim. They didn’t bother to remove the trim when they removed the wrap so there are little bits of wrap sticking out of everywhere. I’ve managed to get it all except under the lower door trims and the matching front wing trim. Can anyone tell me how to remove them without damaging them?

Also, I noticed my drivers side interior A pillar trim isn’t installed correctly. How do I remove that so that I can fit it the way it should be. Photo below.

The Front door lower trims just pull off, Rear one's the same except there is a self tapper screw as well at the back edge, may be concealed by the rubber seal, would advise getting some spare new clips first as well as these are prone to breaking, there are two different type of clips for the Front door for some reason the black one's are used at the end of the trims the yellow/white one's do the rest. The lower wing trim also has a couple of screws right underneath it locates in the sill trim as well but uses same clips.
The "A" post trim, prise out Airbag grommet at top and undo torx screw underneath, pull out slightly to disengage plastic locating peg from a post and pull upwards, you will find at the bottom of the trim there is a locating lug, may find this has not been located properly and holds trim away from screen.


Cheers
Col
