How the hell does the side trim come off above the driver right side door to the front screen  I can see it slides a wee bit but no way will it come off withough snapping something  And putting it back on would be impossible me thinks 

[davieboy0312]

On the front screen?

On the front screen?

On the A pillar

[davieboy0312]

Should just pop off. Think the handle above driver should come off. Trim foes from dash to b pillar though

Lower B pillar trim, pops off.
Upper B pillar trim, two screws visible at bottom, one at top behind alarm sensor/funny shaped panel.
Then comes away. Leave hanging on upper seat belt bolt.
Drivers grab handle off two hidden screws.
Then from above the door pull the A pillar trim away, working forward until it's free then lift away from the dash/screen end.
Retrieve all the clips stuck in the A pillar and refit to the trim panel...

Bish, bash, bosh

Refitting is reverse, but line the trim up by inserting the front, lower corner first then give it a thump to locate the clips in the A pillar. When refitting the B pillar upper trim ensure the belt height adjuster is correctly located and once screwed inplace make sure the door rubbers are correctly located... this also applies to the B pillar lower trim

P.S. haven't you done it yet

No not been in the car for 3 days  The last time i looked the lower part you mention looked to be plastic welded to the upper part so it has to come off in one piece 

I think maybe if the lower part pops off the n i can slide the rest back off the trim hooks

Nah you've mis read it have a closer look

[omega3000]

All i can see is 2 plastic lugs that are hooked onto metal rings to the frame .. one clip slots one way and other clip slots other way wtf  , been pushing pulling on it and wont come off  I know ill end up snapping it so left it till i calm down

As I typed earlier...

Just pull it off...

Retrieve the clips from the metal A pillar...

Refit clips to the plastic trim...

Refit trim when ready...

Don't be tempted to just stuff the wire along the windscreen edge as it will most likely get sliced if the screen ever needs replacing
