How do I get off the rear pillar trim to access the bolts on a hardtop? (three bolts on each side as it shows in the handa pdf).

 

Yank Hard. I think there are four tabs that hold it on... I see you're in brooklyn, maybe i can lend you a hand. Which part are you in?

 

scrawny, he's in brooklyn CT, it's up by Uconn Storrs.

I'm close to you in Westport.

 

I was wondering why he was not posting in the metro group.

 

My recollection is that after you take off the door sill trim piece that is partially covering the pillar trim, start tugging at that opening to get a feel for where the tabs are. Use that as a starting point and use your finger/nail or a flathead screwdriver - better still if you have one that is specially used to pop out tabs - to run along the edges and pry at the parts where they are held down by tabs.

Hope it helps.

 

haha thats hilarious

anyways thanks for the help guys
