E39 A pillar trim removal

[Roundal]

The upper edge of the RHS cover seems to have come loose and won't push back. It looks like it has a row of metal clips, so I should remove it and replace the clips?

Whatever you do, don't fix it with a hammer or ductape :nono:

ha ha. Might have to do that if the airbag deploys! Must be sure to disconnect the battery!

To answer my own question! The "Airbag" decal pops off to reveal a torx screw. Remove the screw and the cover pulls off. One of my clips is broken and that is why it was sitting oddly.
