Need help on A-pillar trim removal

[P16888]

Appreciate if anyone can give some advice on how to remove the A-pillar trim pieces (the ones with the front tweeter grille on it). I'm having difficulty in releasing the 2 clips that hook onto the dash board speaker trim piece. Hopefully a member here has done that before. Thanks in advance!

I changed my tweeters without removing the bottom clips. I couldn't get them to release even with a lot of force. I was afraid of breaking something, so I ended up pulling the panels down and inwards to get enough access to the tweeters.

Thanks Kahukura! I'll do some more research first. I'll use your method if I cannot find other ways to do it .

Finally got the A-pillar out. In order to release the 2 clips that attached to front speakers grille, Slide a flexible piece of plastic (something like a credit card) in between the speaker grille and the A-pillar, and push the plastic piece towards the A-pillar side, this should release the 2 clips (It takes patience but it will release them!). Also, make sure the A-Pillar Middle trim is removed beforehand to allow enough movement for the A-pillar top trim to come out..

Good feedback, looking to pull mine soon to create a custom A-pillar pod for a small tweeter and mid....just been lazy and putting it off, but need to get it in gear and give it a go so I can finish the fiberglass work.
