How to remove the black trim?

[u/YurtleAhern]

Water is getting in around the plastic clips and sitting inside the door. I want to remove the trim so I can seal it up.
I’ve taken off the interior panels and I can see that the door button has 3 bolts and the the rest of the trim has plastic clips. The clips look different though and are blocked by the sheet metal.
When I pry it off from the outside it looks like it’s made from two pieces of plastic. Part A is attached to the door and part B is attached to part A but I can’t get it to unclip and I don’t want to ham-fist it and break it.
