Default Does anyone know how the interior B-Pillar trim is removed?

I have a nasty rattle in the interior upper B-Pillar trim that I need to attack but I have no idea how this trim piece is removed. I can't see any screws holding it on so it must just be clipped on somehow.

Does anyone have any info on removing this piece of trim? Any been-there-done-that's?

Would this information be in the Bentley CD manual? If so, could someone send me images (GIF, JPEG) or fax me the pages?

Thanks much!

Default hmmm. Well, I did it

hey Andy,
As I recall, I just used some delicate pulling. First though, I had removed the trim piece that goes betweent he carpet and the door openings. This connects to the BPillar trim at the bottom. Perhaps this doesn't *need* to be removed - not sure. Then it was just a matter of "uncurling" it from around the B-pillar. There are some alligment tabs that fit into the metal of the B-Pillar, but no screws that I recall. Sorry, but no pics this time

Default It could be something else....I tried the B-pillar fix with no success

The audi tech board has another fix that uses friction tape on all the door seals. My car is going in tomorrow for that fix. My car sounds like a rattle trap.
