How to remove A Pillar interior panel?
how do I pull off the interior panel for the driver side A pillar? Last year the wire for the electric heated windshield was heating up and melting the plastic, causing smoke, I had it taken care of but I suspect the similar is happening again because I smell a sweet burning smell.
Is it just a pull off? And specific way I should do it?

Underneath is a single screw (Philips head IIRC), remove that screw.
The panel then just pulls off, but some levering with a trim removal tool usually helps.
