A Pillar removal?
I tried searching but no luck. Is there a quick write up on the removal and install of the A Pillar?

1) Remove top by pulling strait towards passenger door
2) remove black clip from a pillar with needle nose pliers, turn to left or right and push out hole
3) Release pillar from both pop ins (the black one previously and the white one about 6 inches down)
4) Pull strait up on the bottom and towards the drivers sun visor (best way to describe it)

Seems like a legit how-to to me! Sometimes taking off the simplest things can be a hassel. Thanks!
