I am replacing the passenger side C pillar panel, and need to loosed the front piece of roof molding (running up windshield), but I can't figure how to get the molding loose towards the back of the molding...seems like there are some bolts or something, but I can't figure where. Anybody be able to help? I'd really like to get the C pillar replaced ASAP.

take the two bolts at the bottom of it( by the door hinges out/ aperently done by the paint shop that repainted it before i bought it) then have some one back into your fender and leave a good size dent that also bends it out. and step 3 go give your car a good 0 - 80mph blast and you should hear a loud snap sound. and your done!! its that simple.

seriously though if i remember right... there are those two bolts and then I think it clips to the rear portion. I couldn't tell you for sure how to get it off though. I just had the body shop fix it since they were already fixing my car.

I think they are all overlaping pieces. you might have to loosen the center one to get the c off. I had that same problem when I was looking for my trunk leak I just left it on ther and pushed it out of the way though
