Default A Pillar vinyl covering

I noticed today that the drivers side A pillar vinyl seems to be coming away from the plastic at the left bottom of the windshield. I was wondering if anyone knows a post on how to remove the pillar so that i might try to repair it. It's an 05. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I noticed my passenger side bowing in a little about a year ago. Also, some creaking coming from the same area. I never did anything about it but if it gets bad enough, I will.

I have an '08 and it did it as well. Looks like I am going to the dealer and have them take care of it under the warranty.
