Default Upper rocker panel trim.. how to remove

I found a good one at the local pick 'n pull but I don't know how to remove it without breaking it. It is very thin and may be held on with adhesive. Bentley is no help.

I'm not sure what this part is called. I refer to it as upper rocker trim or lower jamb trim. Here is a pic:




My car is a '93 CSQ Avant.

Thanks... Mike

its very thin to begin with, and it gets very bridle by the time, and the audi adhesive is very good to hold that big surface down.
i tried to remove few, even cutting he whole section out at the junk yard, taking it home, and then remove it in a shop with hair drier, heat gun, and other tools: no luck

Hi varia and thanks (I think) for confirming what I suspected!

I wonder if these are available in the aftermarket. I've googled it... no luck there.

I did not try a dealer but I would imagine they would be ridiculously expensive there even if they could get them.
