As part of the ongoing quest to sort the jangly rattle emanating from the dash, I want to remove the trim just below the windscreen on the LHS. I understand the A pillar trim (and vent) need to come off first. I can take the dash vent off easily but have been unable to find any guides on A pillar trim removal. Looks like the B pillar coat hook and possible seat belt need to come off first but have no idea. Direction of pull/push and knowledge of hidden clips / screws essential to safe removal (as I have found to my cost in the past) Hints, tips and links greatly appreciated! Ian

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I took the LHS A pillar trim off a couple of weeks ago. I found a rennlist or similar post that helped. Coat hook comes off to reveal a metal clip/bracket that holds the edge of the A pillar, B pillar and rear (C Pillar?) trim. Once that bracket is removed, firm pulls along the top edge of the trim to pop the clips out is required. The front/bottom edge slots into a hole in the end of the dash. Hope that helps.
Great - does the coat hook pull off or slide up? Cheers Ian
just pulls off
