Angry please help

Hi All
Since no one responded to my last request I figured it may have been the title. Please help if you can.....


Can anyone tell me how to remove the interior trim on each side of the windshield. Also I know I am slow but what does HPS mean on the plastic piece.

Thanks

You posted this question barely 12 hours ago. If one of the 40 or so people that read the last one knew the answer, it would've been posted. Give it some time, it's a holiday week and people are busy trying to get things done. A bad attitude for having to wait a day or two for the correct answer will not help any.

Do the plastic HPS bite remove to reveal screws? Be careful as there are airbags under there!
Try doing a search on the board.

I could be wrong, but isn't there an airbag in there? HPS (head protection system????). I'm pretty sure it's the head side airbag. I wouldn't want to go tearing into that unless you really had to.

Why do you need to remove them? If it's just to snake a small wire in there, you can do that without removing them - just use a small screw driver or butter knife to push the wire in........if that's what you need to do.

I'm pretty sure it's just a screw behind the HPS badge, then tension clips. I can't find the post now, but I do remember someone posting that.

Thanks had to refresh to see the posts sorry. I want to remove it because the cloth material is starting to buckle. Thought if I removed the cover I could use some 3M spray to get it to stick to the cardboard "assuming not plastic because of airbag"

Do you think it will be a problem???

Thanks everyone for your help...
