With a lot of care.
If they are the same as Galant ones, they clip onto the gutter rail.
They should be in 2 pieces on either side with a joiner (they are usually). Doesn't matter if they aren't.
Remove the joiner if it has one. Then if you start from the rear of the car with a broad screwdriver or something similar, you lever from the bottom of the very end of the strip, coming from underneath the strip past the gutter rail. Once the strip starts to come away use the gutter rail itself to lever the strip. Work along the strip gently and slowly. Once you have enough of the bottom of the strip off the top comes with it.
The strip will develop a gentle curve in it as you take it off, don't worry when it's put back on the gutter rail holds in to shape.
Do not kink the strip or it will be stuffed/damaged.
