Default How to remove B pillar trim?

Hey, I'm installing a two channel dash cam on my '16 IS350, I was able to get the A pillar and C pillar trim off no problem, but I can't get the B pillar trim off to stuff the wire behind it. There's also not enough of a gap to just jam the wire in. Does anyone know how to get this trim piece off easily? I've attached a picture of the issue:



Thanks!

Thank you so much, that's exactly what I needed! Got the B pillar off in about 5 minutes. Who knew there were screws involved when all the other trim just pops off.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but does anyone knows how to remove the wheel arch inner fender? The piece just above the wheels.

I had a look, but unfortunately there are no explicit instructions on removing the fender liner.
From removing various fender liners myself, basically remove the wheel, start at one end of the liner and remove every bolt, clip, or plug that goes through it.
Once you've made your way to the other end of the liner, then you will be able to just pull it out.
There will be a fastener or two under the vehicle at each end of the liner.

Thank you! I needed to do this for my CT and this is exactly how it was removed. I need to run two wires up into the headliner and this is way easier than snaking the wires through the front and then to the b-pillars!
