Default 2002 windshield post fabric

A few months ago I posted a solution to my wrinkled (ugh!) windshield post fabric. The glue failed and I ironed the wrinkles out. Someone answered that this would not last and I needed to "pop" out the post plastic pieces and re-glue new fabric on them as the factory glue had failed. He was soooo right! My fix lasted a month or so but the wrinkles have returned. I have two questions:
1) Is there a tool for popping off the plastic post covering to minimize the chances of breaking it? 2) Do you know a source for the light gray unlined fabric to replace the old?

None of my sources (Welsh/Jagbits/BAS/etc.) are any help. Thanks for any insights! My car is almost spotless inside, but the passenger side post has more wrinkles than I do!

A trim removal leaver is optimal to pop the clips but can be achieved with a screw driver .
Just pull the door shut rubber away from the pillar by hand then look through the gap there is two clips tabs , lower and top , if it's the same as 03 that is . Also there is a check strap or tether that stops the cover hitting you in the face when the air bag deploys , these are a mungrel to dis connect , you will most likely have break or cut these . But can be obtained from jagbits or sng to replace them . Then it's out , not too hard .
