Hey how do you remove the covers of the a-pillars ? Both the interior plastic and the exterior window moulding? i'm going to paint both, need to learn how.



THanks!

Pull very carefully, and slowly. The Plastic will pop out of place.

the inside trims just pull out from the pillar, if you take off the seaming welt you can look in there and see the clips
