windscreen side covers BF5 help!!

[666SubSpeed]

Ok so I'm driving down to Taupo for the racing a couple of weekends ago when the drivers 'A' piller plastic cover thingy decides to let go at the top of the windscreen and start flapping around wildly.

not lots of fun at 100+ clicks.

So I pulled over, got out and not wanting to break anything and not having tools with me I sort of stuck it back under the roof garnish and pushed it down to clip it back in and Taadaa!!! fixed...

or so i thought.

then heading back from the track into taupo on saturday it happens again so this time i just held it on for the few Ks we had to get back and had a good look this time.

It seems that the smith and smith guys that replaced my windscreen a while back broke off the plastic clips that hold these garnish things in place and instead of telling me they just put big blobs of black windscreen sealant where the clips should be, pushed the cover back on and hoped for the best.

(now i know where the whistle has been coming from on the passenger side too)

anyway because there is nothing left of these clips I dont even know what they look like and need to know how to replace them. I have a doner car with what I assume are good ones but I dont want to break them taking them off.

anyone done this or know how to without jamming a flat head screwdriver in there and ripping everything to siht cause it looks sooooo ugly and im sure its letting water in the holes that are left behind and want to sort it out while i have the time

cheers

You'll need to strip the inside of the pillar to release them from the inside.

The side trims are clipped above the front and rear windows, but bolted above the wagon side windows. You'll need a deep 8mm socket to get those off.
