Interior question
Hey Guys,
Can anyone tell me how to remove the plastic interior “roof bow” piece on a coupe? It looks like it has four plastic clips that hold it to the sidepieces, but I am sure something else holds it in place and I do not want to break it. Thanks in advance for any answers.

I just completed dynamatting the entire interior a couple of weeks ago.
Besides the four clips there are four (if I remember correctly) metal clips on the upper side that snap into the top.
Just pry out the 4 plastic christmas trees. Mine were all broke after pulling them out so I bought a bag of 12 at napa for $4 rather than paying $3 a piece at gm.
Then pull the whole piece down.
**when you pull it down make sure you pull from the MIDDLE!!**
You must unsnap the middle clips first. If do the sides first you will crack the center of the piece since it is bowing more than designed too.
Good luck!
