Exterior door trim

Has anyone ever replaced the piece pictured? IT does right behind mirror Both of mine are damaged. I removed the tweeter however there doesnt seem to be a way to access the screw from behind. Any advice

No, but I recently put an aluminum overlay over my B pillar because it was delaminating. It looks great. The company provides a 6 piece kit that includes the A pillar trim (the piece you're showing). Here's the company I bought from.

I've had it on for about two months and so far it looks fantastic.

Just FYI.

My B pillars are fine. This piece of both sides has a broken clip. I bought brand new replacements I thought removing the door tweeter would give me access but no luck. I dont want to pull door panel without verifying I have to.

I understand your b pillars are fine, I was telling you that the kit came with 6 pieces, including the a pillar corner piece you are asking about. You said both of yours are damaged but didn't specify whether that damage was physical or cosmetic. If it was cosmetic, I had a solution for you, I would have even sent you my left over a pillar corner piece covers since I didn't need them.

Good luck on find instructions on how to replace your corner piece.

MsB, are you referring to this part? This is driving me nuts!

That's exactly what happened to mine. The kit I showed comes w/' 6 pieces, I only used the 2 B pillar ones. They're thin metal with 3M tape and just stick over the OEM pillars. They have a great finish and after 2 months still look perfect. I highly recommend for your situation.
