Help, tryin to remove pillar, to place triple gauge pod

I finally went around to setting up my (tan) triple gauge pod, and I dont know how to go about removing the pillar, I dont want to crack nor break it. Any advise on how to go about it, I'm gonna check custommaxima.com I think they have a write up, but any advise would be dope. thanks

lol .. i remember before I knew how to do this .... just pick an end, whether its the top or bottom... and pull ... theres like 2 clips at the bottom and 2 clips at the top ... just pull it carefully but with lots of force and itll pop out .. piece of cake

Grab it and yank the **** out of it.

That's what I do (though that may explain the broken clip on the bottom).

remove the weather stripping from the bottom of the pillar on the inside of the car stick your fingers in their and use some force to pop it out.

gently remove the weatherstripping from the pillar area. wiggle your fingers into the space on the side between the metal and the plastic pillar and then yank really hard. it's a pain the first time you do it, because you have to use more force than you'd reasonably expect.

it can be quite scary. But just go for it, chances are it wont break. I pulled all 6 of my pillar pieces on a project and only broke the rear passenger one. Still need to replace that. Anybody got a black passenger c-pillar? jk unless you have one.
