Default Is there DIY for removing interior front pillars?

Sup guys,

Been pretty active lately on the forums and my new project upcoming will be wraping my front interior pillars, sun visors, the side pillars next to the driver and passenger headrests and possibly the roof depending on how well it turns out.

Is there a DIY laying around somewhere that shows you how to remove the front interior pillars? I'm hoping I can pull these off and wrap them thoroughly and make it look nice and clean other than trying to wrap them while still mounted in the car.

Any advice is appreciated.

Might just be as simple as pulling carefully on the A pillars. B pillars have a screw up top.

Pull out near the top, it will release but still be held in by the upper clip to prevent it from blowing off when the curtain airbag blows. You'll need to use a pair of pliers to twist the clip 90-degrees and then you can pull the A-pillar trim out.
