It's a tiny issue, the chrome strip is deformed, but it bothers me:

I did not find any video on how to remove the chrome stuff safely, but at the moment water is flowing in there and it may rust over time. Should I pop it out with a plastic screwdriver and that's it?

I used the manual but the clip broke immediately. The worst clip I have seen, so I do not recommend doing anything with molding. The clips there are designed for one-time application.

There is a label on it: POM

Where can I get one from this clip?

Yes, they are single use parts. It says so in the part description. Replacements are available from Mazda. The trim is called "applique door garnish" in the parts catalog.

Where do you see that, what description? I have checked the REAR BELTLINE MOLDING REMOVAL/INSTALLATION but it didn't write anything. Trim means the whole molding, right? I just need the little white clip, I have already found the whole rear chrome molding.
