Thumbs up A-Pillar removal

I recently installed my V1 using SAVVY as the power source. The main part of this DIY that I needed to refer to was the A-Pillar cover removal. It worked just as described in the OP but I wanted to add some detailed pics of the cover so others may get a better picture of what they are pulling and yanking on. Basically you need to pull out the top portion of the A-Pillar cover until the metal spring insert lets go. Then the cover needs to either slide up towards the headliner or you could pull it straight out with a little more force as the plastic clips should release that way too. That is what I ended up doing for the plastic clip half way down the pillar and then I was able to slide the cover up and off the remaining plastic clip. To reinstall I removed the remaining plastic clip from the pillar and installed it in the cover. Then I was able to press all three clips straight into the pillar. Hopefully the pics will give everyone a clear idea of what to do. Thanks to the OP!
