Default Need help with frame around windshield!

I had the windshield on my 2000 C5 replaced by Autolite Glass this week and they buggered up the plastic interior trim piece that goes from the right side of the dashboard, along the windshield, to the top of the roof.

This is the trim piece many people run their radar detector wires behind.

How hard is it to remove and replace this piece?

If Autolite is willing to pay for the piece, would be easy for me to install?

Thanks!

Rob

If you're talking about the A pillar - it just snaps on and off with clips. Piece of cake!

Gosh I love this website!

Sounds easy, but where do I pull to avoid breaking anything?
