HELP! side window panel thing broken. VIDEO inside

Hey guys. So this piece I have no name for broke strait in half on the freeway the other day from the wind. The top clip broke and the whole piece was poking out and eventually this happened... I am trying to replace the part my self but am having trouble getting to the screws that releases the piece. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if this is a stupid question..

The part is called A pillar exterior trim. I replaced mine when it started to rattle before it had a chance to fly off to someone's windshield on the freeway. The pictures and the instructions in this thread should help you replace yours: Linky

Good luck!
