    vert interior trim removal

    I can not get the interior trim along the door sills to come up. I have taken out all the plastic rivets and can get it to move but do not see what I am missing. Anyone have some quick advice on how to get them out? Bentley does not even address verts for this task.

    Thanks

        The arrow points to what I trim piece I am talking about. I removed the 4 rivets but am lost as where to go from here.

          I think there is another rivet underneath the seatbelt cover thingy. Then it should just wiggle up and out.

            The cover for the seat-belt connection will pry straight off. One fastener is under the cover. Remove it and trim will slide straight up.

              Agree - that is what I recall too.

                Thanks for the help, I figured it was something like that but the last thing I wanted to do was play with the seatbelt cover thing. With my luck I would crack that thing in half!
