What happens if I remove this?

The window cladding on my 99 Navigator is fading (I never liked how it looked anyway). I decided to attempt prying it off with a screwdriver but there doesn't appear to be any way to do this without destroying the plastic. The cladding seems bigger than the glass underneath and I don't want to be stuck with something that looks even uglier than it does now.

Compared to this 99 Expedition, it looks like the window opening is a slightly different size. I noticed the glass does not extend all the way to the right underneath the trim on mine.

LOL, I went ahead and did it, cleaned underneath, and here is the result:

Not perfect but I like it a lot better than before.

Looks alright. Did it come off in one piece? What was holding it on?

It came off in one piece with a small crack. It was just heavily glued around the edge.

I like it too but at the same time idk lol. It was something to make the navi look different. But mine are fading also. Idk. I was thinking of just repainting them. Not sure yet.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but to me those things made the vehicle look dated and a little bit ghetto.
