hii'm installing a dvr camera and i want to put the cable through the A pillar,
i saw this:http://volkswagen.workshop-manuals.com/up/index.php?id=638
and i saw the W8 interior light installation thread and pictures,
it looks easy but i just cant get the trim out!
i take the top of it out of the black rubber part, i try to get it out,
but the metallic clip just stays inside and won't get out!
i pulled really hard and started seeing on the outside of the trim that it bends around the clip area
so i stopped before i break it.

do you have any tips for me how to succeed getting it out?
thanks!

Hey Gania,

Did you have any luck? I'm trying to remove my a pillar trim for exactly the same reason!

Hi I have fitted the W8 interior light to my car! taking the cover off the A pillar is a bit tricky, but what you need to do is pull the plastic as far back as you can without damaging it, then put a large flat screwdriver in where the metal clip attaches it and twist it, hopefully the clip will pop out of the hole staying in the cover, you have to do this for all three clips. Hope this helps.
