How do you remove A-pillar trim?

I'm trying to run a cable up the a-pillar for a radar detector. Can't figure out how to remove the a-pillar interior trim. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Keep pulling.

Just some very very good clips holding it. Get your fingers under there and you'll be able to tell where the clips are--then really give it a yank. Good luck.

not sure if it applies but I thought there was a bolt or screw found behind the airbag label

maybe his model car does not have the side curtain airbags so this doesn't apply but I thought u pull the rectangular "airbag" cover piece off then take out a scre then remove the trip piece.

just fyi I have been looking around for a replacement one just to use for a boost gauge project and they are no where to be found as the junk yards say they either don't inventory that part or break the clips removing it so you may want to try and tuck it behind there w/ a credit card as opposed to removing the cover.

You're right about the airbag, but doesn't apply on his car.

As I could tell his was pre-99 by his sig pic. I have an extra a-pillar if you need--however, it is a non-airbag cover. Let me know if you're interested.
