    Interior trim removal Tips/tricks etc.....??

    At the end of July I got a couple weeks off and I plan to gut my interior and clean the **** out of the mother****er.
    I already know how to remove the seats, center console, door panels, plastic parts underneath the door on the rocker panels, but how the **** do I remove the A-B and C pillar panels, the rear seat backs, headliner, dash padding and the **** around the stereo/climate control panels??
    Advice suggestions are welcome and apprecitated.

    Thankls.

    Someone else asked a similar question and got this answer: "RTFM". lol
    I tried removing the dash once, but couldn't, so I can't give you advice on that. But I can tell you how to get the rear seats out of the car. Fold down the seats, and unbolt them. There are a couple of bolts holding them down on each side and in the middle. Once you get the seat backs off, I think you just pull the seat and it pops right off.

      Word, thanks I'll try that and just pry the other **** off, hopefully it won't break.

        Good luck with that.

        Let me know how you pulled some of those hard to get pieces. If they don't break

          After going to the junkyard I remembered this post on here are the side panels, i think this is what you are calling pillars, removed so you can see the locations that they bolt-on to.

          In order to remove the side parts you have to pry open the seat belt covering and unscrew the 14mm (I think) nut. Other than that the pictures should tell everything.
