A-pillar trim removal tips?

mr.fabulous · 12-17-2014, 03:55 PM

Not sure if this is the proper forum to post this... but I need to remove my right-side A-pillar trim in order to access and remove old wiring for (what I'd imagine was) a radar detector (previous owner). It's not causing any problems, but I removed (cut out) an old Garmin power supply laying in front of the fuse box and some of that wiring remains behind (now taped up) and it *bugs* me.

Anybody here have experience removing A-pillar trim from an E82? Anything with an airbag scares the crap out of me, I don't want to just start yanking on the thing without understanding what I'm dealing with.

You should search the DIY topic. That's a more appropriate subject for you question.

I removed my A pillar because of some squeking. You should search for the installation of a vent gauge or removal of the A pillar. You'll definately find something. PM me if I can help you out more
