Default Removing A pillar trim

Is it going to cause any problems if I remove the A pillar trim for a week or so? I daily drive my car and I don't think it will cause any issues but I won't want to find out the hard way. Haha. I know it's a dumb question,but I still have to ask.

Nope - no problems. Sounds like someone is getting some custom tweeter mounts? I bought a used set of pillars that I'll be starting work on as soon as I get the time. Post what you get.

This is what you'll see minus the wire at the bottom which is the GPS sensor wire I was installing at the time.

i would just be careful when you "pull it off" that you don't displace the rubber weatherstripping any (it's really easy to do, lol). while not difficult to put back, i found it was a pain in the rear, lol!

I had no problem with pulling off the weather striping on mine when I changed it.
