"A" Column cover removal
Hi
DO any of you know how to remove what I believe is called the "A" column trim cover i.e. the trim covering the right and left windscreen pillars with the "Airbag" badge on. I want to conceal some wiring behind the trim (the aerial wire from the Pure Highway DAB unit). Thanks Tony

Thanks. I PMd a guy in the US who had replaced his headlining and all related interior trim with anthracite trim.
The answer is to remove the "airbag" badge and then remove the torx screw underneath. Apparently the trim then just pulls off.

Be careful fitting them again as its very easy to break the plastic clips. It does all come off quite easily. Have a look at the threads in the DIY section.

+1 - thats exactly what I did on my E93 when fitting the car phone kit - a lot easier than trying to remove the trim and can't cause any damage!

Yes. Its easy to do and easy to remove and refit the trim.

Slip the door seal rubber out of that way, install cabling and refit, that's the way to do it.

Richard.. any tips on putting the A pillar trim back in place? The reason i took it apart is the garage had put it back on all jacked up.. in fact the plastic edges that stick out werent in the appropriate grooves... I guess tomorrow I'll fiddle with it to try and stick it back in there... its kind of a pain in the b#tt!
