A pillar trim
Good Afternoon, I have done a search and drawn a blank. How do you remove the black rubber/water soaked trim from just inside the A pillar. I presume the Flat panel with 2 screws into the frame and undo the interior light switch. Is just a pull then. I am tracing a waterless and so need to see where the water is coming. Thank you.

Sorted. Did the screws and light switch and it pulls back enough to see its only wet in the corner by the door. Have new seals on so now to trace where the leak is and seal. At least it's not looking like screen seal.

If you haven't done so already, have a look around the faux windscreen hinges. It's possible they are letting water in which is tracking to the area in question. Easy enough to fix.

Also there is a possibility the water is getting in where the gutter meets the roof (hairline crack) and its tracking down the a pillar and door frame. Again, easy enough to fix.

Give the horizontal seal between the windscreen frame and the body a closer inspection also.

Yep. Sealed Window blocks a few weeks back. It was nice and dry and corrosion free under so just sealed back on. I think it's tracking down from gutter to door seals so have the trim lifted ready for further inspection.
