Could someone tell me how to remove the A pillar trim with the tweeter in it? I've already broken one clip and don't want to break anymore

Cheers

The problem is that over time plastic becomes brittle, as the chemicals added to it to allow it to be moulded leach out. Removing old trim is always going to be risky.

Broke 2 out of 3. Improvised & put it back together again. Used one of those 'Flash' stain remover sponge to clean it. Unbelievable difference, highly recommended.
