How to remove A-pillar trim

[bambinator]

Hi all. This could be the stupidest question asked on this forum, but does anyone know how to remove the plastic trim from the A-pillar on an R33? (Driver's side) I'm trying to run wires for various electrical components and I'm buggered if I can get it off.

Thanks

Grab the trim at the top of the a pillar and pull towards the inside of the car, you also need to pop the rear trim out a bit to release the front one. The trims are firmly clipped in place and can be a bastard if you have not done it before. if it is scary tight use a screwdriver and a torch to locate the clips looking between the door rubber and the trim, then place the screwdriver on the pillar at the base of the clip and twist. hope this helps

just pull at it from the join at roof, they pop straight off

I was about to ask the same question but a search got me to this thread. I had a go, but with a bit of force, it still wasnt going to budge. was worried about snapping it.

its good to know now exactly how its mounted to give it another go
