Removing the C-Pillar covers. - Toyota Yaris Forums

BDD · 07-27-2009, 11:19 PM

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!

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.

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