Default A-Pillar cover Removal

Anyone know how to remove the A pillar cover? I see that quite a few have done this, but didn't see any instructions...

Thanks...

Just pull it off. Its held on by a few clips.

Be careful with the thin lower front portion, it snaps off easily.

Also you may have to pull the steel clips out of the steel pillar after you pull it off.

Additionally, throw a little bit of silicone glue on the clips when reinserting to prevent future rattles from the clips loosening up.

Good call

Also when re-installing it, make sure the clips are lined up with the holes BEFORE you pound it into place.
