its a trim tool found at advance auto and such,also can be removed with
a heat gun to soften the tape, or the ol trusty wire method... use a piece of bare wire to act as a saw to cut the tape, there are also i think 5mm screws at each end.. its time consuming though

Use a screw driver and a rag (so you don't scratch the door) and pry it off. It's VERY easy to pry off, it's just a matter of not scratching it.
