Yes.

Be smarter than I was and make sure to roll the windows down first. The pliers slipped while doing one of mine and I put a nice 3 inch gash in my window tint.
Just a quick question if I may , I bought these and then gripped the old ones with a pliers and pulled up but was too scared to pull it hard as I thought I might break it so they are sitting in my drawer
Is it a quick pull or a long pull and is it ok to use a lot of force until it comes off ?
Any advice greatly appreciated as they look really great in the pix
Thanks
It takes a pretty forceful pull in order to get them off. I wasn't expecting to have to use as much force initially and because of that I didn't have the best grip on it and didn't take the proper precautions on the first one and how it ended up slipping and tearing my tint.

If you roll down the windows then use a forceful pull you should get them off without much issue and worry of damaging anything. Just don't pull so hard as to have a full arm swing when it pops off and you smash the pliers up into the door frame…
