Question How to remove A-Pillar?

Ok, I gotta take this thing off so when I take it to the dealer tomorrow to have my seatbelts fixed I won't have to worry about them breaking it. The thing is, Im worried about me breaking it to. The plastic is old and birttle, and I'm worried about it breaking, so I ain't pulling to hard on it. Is there something holding it in besides the screw at the top of it and the one by the sun visor? Someone help me out so I don't crack it and have to go buy another one. Thanks

There is a screw under a round cover at the top, where the two interior pieces come together. Remove that, and then just pull. I guarantee you will break some of the clips. No matter hiw gentle you are.

Go to any autoparts store. You may not need one, I can remove them with a flathead (but I've done it many many times)
