Default Interior removal problem!:mad:

So guys yes I've searched on the forum and I found that thread https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...-a-pillar.html but I still don't understand how to do it.

My problem is that I can't get this ****ing A-pillar grip handle out! So if someone could tell me clearly how to get this handle out it would be very appreciated

Thank you CL members

its quite simple. pull back the loose top end of the handle and you should see that there is a thin tab in the middle. you have to pull this tab towards you, while pushing the grab handle upwards. ill get a picture in a minute.

The first time I tried to get this off I just ripped it. Haha. I pulled it as hard as I could and it finally came. But yes I do know how to do it now thanks to my father haha.
