Allow me...
Put the window all the way down and pull the rubber channel back from the leading edge of the door. Peel the old stuff off, it's pretty tough and prone to splitting. It also leaves some god-awful residue behind.

I recommend doing this before you wash the car, as it makes life easier. Using some white spirit or some sticky-stuff remover (AutoGlym is good for this) scrub away until all residue is gone. Then wash the car, ensuring all trace of cleaning fluid is free from the surface you want to stick your new vinyl to.

Now some people leave it like this, but as Ruan says, it looks bloody shit.
The idea of the B-pillar trim is that it blends the rear quarter window into the front one, creating the illusion of one big window and making your car look cool as f*ck. Now last time I checked, glass does not have a matte finish unless it's in a lavatory. I opted for a gloss vinyl as I thought it would look smarter against the glass. You'll need a squeedgie or credit card to get a good finish. Wrap a ¼" piece around the edges or it may peel off. Refit the rubber window channel and stand back admiring how much more awesome the car looks-
