Additional tips / advice on side vents DIY??

I followed the PSI DIY on taking the side vents off but I am having a helluva time doing it.

I ended up popping drivers side off completely by accident in one piece without separating the chrome trim from the black base but now I am stuck on the passengers side. I tried repeating what I did on the drivers side but it aint happenin.

I've tried using nylon pry tools to separate the chrome trim from the black base but have been unsuccessful. Does anyone have more tips on how to do this exactly?

I tried the e92 packing tape method but the tape just doesn't grab.

Anyone have any other tips/tricks?

I just did it this afternoon to put stock chrome piece on.
I didn't like blackout look on that part since it makes that area rather flat looking on my black car. I want that signature M piece stand out.

Anyway, IND site has video DIY. It will probably help you more than picture guide.
