Default Trim/Electric

Newbie here and I have a 1975 c3 and I have 2 questions. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it.

1. I have taken off most of the trim inside the car, removed passengers side dash and I cant seem to figure out how to get the A piller trim off. I see one screw on top, but none anywhere else. Don't want to, but if i have to, do i have to take off top dash or is there another way.

2. When I got the car, there were a couple of interior mechanical issues: No Key Buzzer, No Seat Belt Warning light, No Cigarette lighter light, The courtesy lights do not come on when doors are open. Courtesy light in rear will come on if you put in bulb, but will remain on all the time.

again, I am a newbie, but i am above average mechanically . Thanks

There are 2 plastic pop-off fasteners under each piece. The design of those fasteners will not mesh with the original fasteners on the pillar. The aftermarket piece is not properly shaped like the original part, either. Good luck with it.
