Default Triangle pieces between window and B pillar removal??

How do the plastic triangles that are right behind the side windows and up against the roof pillar come off?

Do they just clip in or is there a nut behind the interior trim?

Thanks,
Mike

They are held on with double sided tape. You can just pry them off with a putty knife. Ther are quite thin, don't pry the roof panel by mistake.

New ones are like $3-$5 each. It is worth replacing them reather than dealing with cleaning up the tape and re-using them.

Good Luck!!

The drivers side has some scratches like someone took a dry paper towel and wiped something off. I found a brand new set on ebay for $20 so I'm just going to put brand new ones on.

Also because I cant stand it when small, inexpensive, easily replacable things are messed up.
