Default Interior A-Pillar Trim Replacement

I took my car to be inspected, and the genius who was scraping off my old windshield sticker put a nice cut in the A pillar cover because he wasn't paying attention to what he was doing with the razor blade.

Does anyone know how to remove the trim? Does it just unsnap if you pull on it, or do you need to remove other things before the trim can be removed?

Thanks.

Steve

Firmly but gently pull out top and work your way down. Should come right out

There is a plastic pop rivet on the bottom of that piece near the door which you might want to remove. This makes it easier to remove and reassemble. Then the plastic simply pulls out from the top and pull to the side then pull up. Getting it to go back in takes a little longer to line up but just take your time and dont jam it in and you should have no problems.
