Question How to remove B-Pillar cover

I'm trying to retrofit Nav into my 03 E500, how can I remove the B-Pillar to mess with the fiber optics?

You mean the mesh cover between the rear passenger door and the seat? it is held in by clips. after you remove the door sill panel which is held in the same way, it just pulls away you will see the clips after you pull it.

Oh crap, the B-Pillar removable part is at the Bottom of the car...not the top where the seat belt is held? LoL, I'm a dumbass.
So I'm supposed to remove the door sill(The metal w/ MB on it?) and then take off the pillar cover to the right of it? can ya give some minorly detailed info on what tools I'd need or where to pinch out clipped in items?
Thanks for all your help so far clk

Nothing to pinch.. Just pull carefully from the ends (door sill) being careful because it's plastic. but it just pops out.

Then the piece to the right just pull from the bottom and it will work free.

Once it is out you can see the clips so you can pop it back in
