Hi all!
I was hoping to install my new C-Pillar bar this evening, but I ran into a little snag while trying to take off the C-Pillar covers.
First, I pulled back the weather strip. Gently popped out two of the plastic clips... and that's where I am.
Viewing from the back of the car, there seems to be a different type of clip a little past where the seatbelt mounts to the pillar. Do I need to just put some ass behind it an pop it out? I'm hoping to do this without any broken clips.

Thanks!

i dont even think jesus can get that c pillar out without breaking clips.

i broke multiple clips when removing mine. but im not complaining because everything went back flush the way it was and there r no vibrations.

thats y i love toyota. u lose or break shit on them and it still works/looks like new

Is part of it a metal shaft that attaches to the body? If so you slide the plastic pillar piece towards the front of the car and it sides out that way.

Exactly! Thank you very much!

No problem! Glad I knew what I was talking about since I just removed them two days ago. :laugh:
