A Pillar trim removal

[likesoldjunk]

Hi

I'm looking to install a fancy Autodimming Mirror with Compass &Thermometer
in my 06 coupe, and the wiring requires I take off the Drivers side A Pillar Trim.

I polked around a bit last night, and didn't find an obvious way to remove it
without wrecking it.

Any pointers ?

I think that member Twofocused did something of this nature. You might want to PM him.

Hey AFixer,

Any chance you have the documentation for a Coupe ? What
you posted was for a convertable, and it seems to be a
completely diifferent animal.

Well, since no one seemed to know, I had to go by feel, so
here's what I found:

The A Pillar trim in a coupe actually extends most of the way
to the back of the door. Start at the back, where there is a
'Stab Clip' between the A Pillar trim, and the rear trim piece,
whatever that's called. Carefully separate the two.

Then there are about 3 Stab clips into the mettal body.

At the front there are two hocky stick shaped (GO Oilers!)
tabs that go into the dash facing forward. Holding the back
of the trim piece high, you have to pull back and wiggle them
loose from the dash.

If you need to drop the headliner a bit for wiring, remove the
sunvisor.
