They are not clipped and not bonded to the body although many Gammas have had extra sealant added between the strips and body to stop them leaking or to hide the beginning of rust bubbles. The bottom trim is a separate piece with a plastic gasket between it and the bodywork. Be very careful with the other three pieces because they look like three separate pieces but actually they are joined together so need to be removed as one piece.
When you put everything back, bond the strips to the glass and don't fill the gap to the bodywork.
