How do you remove this pillar/trim? Passanger side rear. There is some clicking noise coming from there. Thanks

I tried to get mine off too because it’s making noises. I think the noise are coming from the plastic trim piece where the cargo cover clicks in. There’s an airbag in the pillar/seat so I stopped messing with it. Maybe something for the dealer. You’re going to want to disconnect the battery before ya go tearing it down. Good luck.

Proceed at your own risk.
You would first need to disconnect the batteries. Then the backrest side section between the rear seat back and door needs to be removed. Then the bottom side C pillar trim comes off. Remove illuminated sill trim. Then remove upper C pillar trim.
