Default A-Pillar post removal

How do you get it off, replacing my hydraulic roof lines and I can't figure out how to get it off.

Looks like it should pop off.

It does. It pulls straight out. If you have trouble, you can use a screwdriver as leverage under the weatherstrip. Yours may be made of fiberglass, not plastic as in the video.

Be careful when you are done and replace the header and visors.

Accidently shorting the visor mirror light wire to ground under a screw or clip can fry your BPM instead of blowing a fuse like it should. Its happened here a couple of times at least already.
