I need to remove the black (on my 76) piece of trim on my trunk lid
prior to having the lid dipped.  The guy at the body shop approached it
with a crowbar and I rapidly retreated to ask you folks if that was
going to damage anything.  How are those things attached and what's the
best way to get them off such that they are not ruined and can be
re-attached.

Thanks in advance.

Gary,

Although the crowbar was a bit over the top, that is essentially
how to remove the trim. It is held on with a set of clips. Gently
pry the trim away. It should come off cleanly if it not to rusted
in place.
