Plastic pillar removal "Help"
 
I want to paint my driver and passenger front pillars. The pillar is black plastic, attached to car by snaps and 1 screws.
Do anyone have detailed instructions on how to remove the pillars.with pictures

It might be helpful to check the "How It's Made: Dream Cars" You Tube episode on C7 to see how it's all put together. There is a place where they show the IP and windshield assembly being bolted to the frame.

Good luck.

Sorry, It wasn't real clear.

Do anyone from the corvette family have a shop manual that can give me instructions how to remove my driver and passenger pillars.
I want to remove them to have them painted.
I want to see how its attached to make sure I do not damage units during removal.

I just had mine painted at the shop that installed my Xpel. It cost me just under $200 for them to remove them, pain them and re-install them. There is one alrge fastener that is visible and 3 0r 4 additional fasteners under the door weatherstripping. I always thought it looked unfinished with the roof on when it was black. With the roof off it looked fine.

Sorry for the large images. I resized them in Paint but it didn't seem to make a difference after uploading to the site.
