Speaking of interior trim; A post replacement?

Kidding.. how often can this come up, really; My A post interior trim pieces apparently were not glued on sufficiently at the factory. The fabric cover is separating from the plastic trim piece. Dozens of air bubble / separations have formed on the passenger side trim piece. Worse in cold weather. Now the driver's side is starting. This is the kind of part, in my opinion, that should be covered on a permanent warranty. Silly that this is happening on a BMW. 2003 X5 3.0i E53.

So anyhoo.. how hard are these things to replace? I'd like to know how to do it, but the other thing is... this trim piece is going over the head restraint air bag system. Please let me know if there are cautions, or, if this is too risky to perform and I should have my dealer do it. Thanks guys.
