First off, why?

They are pressure clipped in place, but do have permanent attachments near the top 1/4 due to the side curtain air bag deployment canisters.

If you are trying to remove your headliner it's not necessary to remove these in order to do so. Just tug at the top to give some wiggle room, then pull out the headliner from that corner.

well, the reason why is bcasue i can. no, what i'm trying to do is remove the rear seatbelts as i have removed the rear seats (here's my thread: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...mp;topic=11854 just scroll half way down for the pics. and there is no need for the rear seat belts anymore. so the only way i can think of getting them out is to remove the pillar covers to access the bolts and relay.

You need to remove the final ) in your link for it to work.
