I need to replace the cabin temperature sensor/aspirator. To do this I need to loosen the trim on the A and B pillars. A pillar trim came loose easily. But B pillar trim isn't pulling loose. It seems to be tightly connected near the top and I'm afraid I'll break a tab if I pull too hard. Can someone who has done this instruct me how to loosen the top section of the B pillar trim? Thanks

Do you mind posting the solution? I am sure more of us will run into the same issue at some point...
The B pillar trim pulls/pops off. It just requires a bit more force than I expected. BTW, I had to replace the cabin aspirator/sensor in the headliner AND the ambient temperature sensor located behind the front grill to get HVAC working correctly. The giveaway that the ATS is not working right is the temp register in the mirror will read 0C or else display a grossly inaccurate reading.
