Default Replacing the "A Pillar" cover...how hard?

I bought my car with a scratch on the A pillar cover (the "leather" piece that goes from the top of the windshield to the dash down the driver's side).

I have just had my first experience disassembling part of the dash to change my turn signal stalk (aka HELL) and was wondering if anyone has experience doing this and if there was directions posted anywhere.

Thanks!

Nevermind...I guess I should use the search feature a little more effectively.

Here is a BUMP for anyone with the same question...

A pillar cover simply pulls off. Grab it towards the top and pull straight away from the pillar. (Start the pull from the top, but also pull the center and bottom as the removal progresses.)
