Need to get to the door switch in the B-Pillar

Anyone know how to take the B-Pillar plastic off without damaging anything? It feels prety sturdy and unmovable when I tried it pry it off.


Thanks

You need a trim panel removing tool. Pry and apply pressure in two places preferably with wide pry tools.

OK, I tried but it's not coming off

Around the dorr there's this "cloth" like lining that covers the edge of the B-pillar plastic. When I look below the lining I see a few metal clips that seem to clipping around the B-pillar plastic. Is it safe to take those clips off?

SUCCESS! I was able to push the clip off and the trim came off

This allowed me to access the door switch.
