Default C-pillar disassembly

Anyone know how to take apart the interior piece that covers the rear side curtain airbag on the passenger side? I am talking about the angled piece that would be located next to your right ear if you were sitting on the passenger side of the rear seats...

Some on this board are aware that I needed to have body work done on that panel and ever since then, the thing has rattled and rattled and rattled even if driven on a quiet road.

Any tips?


Thanks!

The proper way of removing the C-pillar panel is to first pop up the door sill panel at the bottom of the door opening. Then pull out the trim panel running up beside the seat to the C-pillar panel. Then pull out the C-pillar panel. Everything is held in place with retainer clips and will require a firm tug to remove. There are several retainer clips on the C-pillar panel and they may stay lodged in the metal of the car. Remove them with plyers and replace them on the panel before reattaching the panel. Reassemble everything in reverse.

Hope this helps.
