B-Pillar panel removal

Anyone removed the B-Pillar interior trim panel? Thinking of swapping out my manual lock cylinder.

Yes, I had to remove it to replace the wiring harness for engine compartment lights. Just held on with clips and will pull right off.

Paragon has a video showing taking those areas apart for installation of their seat belt harness bar.

Thanks, good video. I think I’m gonna have to pull the quarter panel too, doesn’t look to difficult unless there are some hidden fasteners that I don’t see.
