Local wrecker has 116 with a pristine piece I need. It's the front pilar with the plastic insert. I see there's a philips screw at the top end but that's it. Do I have to pop off the plastic piece to access some screws in order to get off or what?Front Pilar Chrome

That insert is made of aluminum I think.  There are 2 clips holding it on. Just pry with nylon pry tool, maybe more from the side than the end.

Thanks again rumb. Game right off and I didnt need to spring for the plastic wedge. Will try and contact Nobel Prize committee to nominate founder of Pic n Pull for award. Front and rear pillar pieces, both pristine, totaling $10.
