A pillar pod install question
How does the factory A pillar cover come off? Mine feels like it's glued on.

Theres clips on the inside of the A-pillar (on the window side). I think theres a total of 3. 1 at the top, middle and bottom. When you pry on it. pull it towards the inside of the car. Not the outside.

Got it. Thanks guys!
It seems that the only difference between the triple pods they sell for 97-2001 and my '04 is a small "tail" that the newer C5 A pillars have at the bottom. I'll have to add something to fill in that small spot. I'm new to the FI section and will have plenty more questions as soon as the figgin' weather gets better.

Here's a picture of my stock '04 A pillar cover and the Autometer triple pod for the older C5s. I am going to make a tail to bond to the pod. You can't simply cut it off the stocker because it's made of rough white plastic and covered with foam and vinyl. (See the picture posted by auctiondepot)

Not yet. I'm busy taking the driveline out right now.
