JCL was right (again) that the dealership said it's not covered by warranty. Not perforation of a body panel but surface rust.

SO... is there a way to TAKE OFF these trim pieces so I can refinish them OFF the car?

Just got a ff-up message from the dealership.... it will cost me $480 (before tax) for them to do the repair!!!
