2000 R129, How to remove A Pillar trim?

I've got some replacement A Pillar trim pieces but I'm hesitant to start removing the old pieces.

Anybody know how? Vids and/or pictures are great.

Thanks!

They should 'pop' or 'pull' off using your hands only.

If you have new ones then you know where the clips are...

There is a trim piece that fits on top of the A Pillar trim

I see the clips, putting the new piece on will be easy, as will taking the trim piece off.

I should have been more clear, it's taking the headliner trim piece (if that's what it's called) off first, so that I can get the Pillar trim off.

There "cap" fits about two inches or so over the Pillar trim.

Thanks!

No problem, it should slide out from under it.

You can just pop off/down the that edge of the headliner too.
