Do you know this is an integral body part that is riveted and/or spot welded to the unibody subframe?

To take out the B Pillar you need to remove the entire half of the interior, carpet, headliner and sunroof if you have one. Then drill out each spot weld with a spot weld drill bit or drill through it with a regular drill bit.

Its not easy. It's very time consuming and you'll need a spot welder to get it back together

I apologize. I didn't mean the entire b pillar, I'm just talkin about the trim on it behind the seat belt. should have been more clear....

yea, you have to take off the piece under it ( it divides the doors) you know which one? pull it out and undo your seat belt and pull out that piece, ( b pillar piece)its not to hard. its been a while since i did it, but thats about all there is.....
