B-pillar - The black, glossy bits
 
Just learned today that these are removable. Mine need repainting so I've ordered a used pair from the forum sponsors, to be repainted and then swapped over.

One small question: How do you remove them?

I haven't closely examined how they're held yet, to be honest, but I'm guessing they're just clipped on somehow. Thought I'd better check before I break something though ...

Turns out they're screwed on from inside:

You need to remove the inner b pillar trim. To remove it you need to remove front and rear door sill trims. To remove rear door sills you need to remove rear seat. It is doable. But will take some time. The good thing is that you will not need to remove a and c pillar trims! +++

Thanks :)

I should've mentioned, the job's done. The photo is of my old trims.


I actually managed to get them replaced without removing anything though .... 'coz I got someone else to do it for me :D
