Trying to remove trim inside and can't seem to pry off the stuff without breaking something. I need to remove everything for the headliner and the carpet.

You likely will break the clips that hold on the front trim, let it break, better than breaking the trim. The GM part # is 20462090, they are still available and are cheap.

Just realized that you said the carpet too, there are 7mm screws under the little round trim covers.

When i was removing my trim to replace my headliner i just pulled the trim far enough out to where i could see where the clips were and thats were i put the most pressure to get the clip to come out. I then just bought new clips from the fiero store and rodney dickman.

Most of them do, every time you remove a panel. Particularly the a-pillar trim.


TejasFiero, the a-pillar trim is possibly the trickiest. It is held in by two brittle (replaceable as per everyone else's replies) plastic clips on the windshield support, and one tab which fits in to a slot on a different angle near the traling edge of the window. The easiest way to get that sucker out of there is to remove the b-pillar trim first, then pull the rear-most end of the a-pillar trim down and toward the outside of the car to dislodge this tab.
