A-pillar trim
I m about to install a a-pillar gauge pod but before doing that, I would like to know how to pull the a-pillar trim out. Do you just yank it out or there's some hidden bolts need to be unscrewed beforehand? I dont wanna break something so please teach me.
Thanks in advance.

let me look at the one I have off I know at least need to take the end screw out of the center front headliner trim. OK then there is another screw at the back of the piece and then pop near the top and near the middle of the A-pillar then lift up and back.

The Factory Service Manual is in the FAQ and contains all this information.
It is held on by clips that you will have to pry out VERY carefully. The trim is VERY brittle and there is a 90% chance that you will break it. Get a long flathead screwdriver and use it to pry the clips and NOT the trim, working around slowly and minimizing the bend on the trim.
I don't even bother with old trim anymore. I just snap it to pieces, then buy a new piece at the dealer that isn't brittle and faded.
