Default Anyone know how to remove C-pillar trim??

I'm installing a cell phone antenna, and would like to run the cable under this trim.

Unfortunately, no FAQs contain this information.

Thanks.

Well, it takes a degree of faith. I tried half heartendly and decided against it, as I could clumsily break the thing.

Here are the instructions, as per Steve Shupe.<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/bbs/archive/9808x8/messages/298.shtml">https://www.audiworld.com/bbs/archive/9808x8/messages/298.shtml</a</li></ul>

Default Steve's discription sounds pretty good, but...


The one thing I do is; start at the front/top working my way down to the bottom/back I start with my hands, but once started I use a panel poping tool, kind of like a little thin crow bar with a forked end that I work in right next to and around the clips and pop them at their base. Then pull the panel out up and forward.

Don't forget to wash your hands first. It's easier to wash your hands than clean the panel, liner, etc.

Default Re: Jake (please read) Wind Noise

Several weeks ago there was a post from somebody who took the inside door
panels off to adjust window frames for wind noise. He described a series of torque bolts which he adjusted, pulling in the window frames which resulted in
a nearly dead quiet ride.

After reading the post I was driving the wife's A4 in windy conditions, the drivers door, (top / rear) was howling. I reached up with my right hand, clasping the window frame and pulled it inward toward me. The car went quiet!! The noise
difference was significant.

Now then, how do I approach the Audi dealer using "Audiese" terminology so I can skip over their natural urge to adjust the lock strike in the door jam?

Await your reply

Chris
