Default Rear bumper Chrome Molding removal

The chrome molding on rear bumper has taken a beating and i am trying to figure out to remove it. Does anyone have instructions or any guidance on how to go about removing it?

I tried once and gave up. If you mean remove it in order to replace, then I think you basically end up breaking or Dremeling the tabs from the inside that lock it into the bumper cover. If you mean remove it with a view to refinishing the strip, I don't think that is possible. The strip is also pricy as a new part the one time I checked.
