Step 1 of the process is to locate the small plastic piece at the side of the drivers air vent.pamanal21 said:
Get your finger into the top of it, where it meets the velvety material and pull it back towards the rear. It will be very stiff and reluctant to come out normally, but persevere and it'll come.
Then unhook it from the lower trim.
Next, get all your fingers under the sill part of the trim, by pushing back the rubber lip.
With your thumbs on top and your hands slightly separated from each other, jerk it upwards sharply and then lift the centre up, whilst unhooking the trim from the neighbouring piece by the B pillar.
Finally, pull the trim backwards to the rear and out of the car. Check for any metal clips that have been left in place and remove with radio pliers if needed.
Cheers,
Mike
