Front door window molding replacement?

On my 2023 M550i the drivers door Harman Kardon tweeter cover doesn’t fit very well, there’s large gap at the top of the cover where it meets the door molding. I’ve tried to get my local dealer to fix the gap but at first they claimed it’s normal, then they removed both tweeter covers and reinstalled them improperly and said the issue is fixed (worse than before, installed them over the bottom clip and didn’t seat the exterior edge in the glass seal groove), so I went ahead and ordered a replacement and installed it myself, which helped slightly but the gap is still there.

Now they’re claiming the tint shop the previous owner used must’ve damaged the molding and that it should be replaced as well.

Picture of the gap, hard to see in low light but it’s noticeable and is very noticeable during the day:


Do I need to remove the door card to replace the below molding, or can it be popped off easily without going through the trouble?
