rear door widow garnish 51 cranbrook

[Flathead]

OK, I'm stuck at home so I decide to mess with the car.  I decide I am going to take the interior window garnish trim off the doors and paint them.(51Cranbrook)  Easy enough, right? Wrong. Well I decide to start with the rear door.  In my repair manual they give instructions on how to take it off the front door garnish but there's no mention of the back door.  I figure their both the same.  I open the vent window, unscrew the lock button, unscrew all the screws, pull the top away and lift up. Nothing.   The bottom of the garnish that meets the door panel doesn't want to budge.  I use a plastic upholstery tool to try to free it up without success.  So here I am.  I figured I better ask for help before I really screw something up.  Any ideas?
