Hello, I was wondering how do you remove the piller post metal from the doors (see pics) I want to remove mine and do a Carbon Fiber wrap to them and then put them back on. I dont want to just start prying on them and bend them all to hell (ive been known to do this lol) and just want to do it right, Im sure its a simple thing that Im overlooking, But I aint claiming to be smart at all... thanks...Michael...

 

Not being able to take it off is your car's way of saying no

 

I know on other GM cars those pieces are sometimes have studs and are held in with nuts.
I think on the W-Bodies, they may be rivetted in (but I'm not 100% certain).

 

I totally agree with that being a deciding factor in doing a mod, I guess if it doesn't come off to easy, do the job with it still on the car.... Lol" or eBay has a chrome set that snaps over the ones on the car and I could carbon fiber them and them snap them onto the door.....hmmm just thought of that....Mjc

 

i was wondering the same thing....a few blisters on my drivers side....chrome snap ons may be an option

Check back on this thread & hopefully they will read this question & be able to help....

I don't think they are glued on ? & think they have rivets ?
Oh `no

 

they have screws on the other side of the door, should be two of them.

 

i stand corrected, that screw is for the trim on the lower part of the door, i think the pillar part that you're talking about is held on by some sort of push pin, as it wiggles but will not fully pull off

 

I tried taking some off at the salvage yard and I'm here to say it's probably impossible with out doin some cutting and bending
I believe they are riveted on If I remember correctly
This was about 2 years ago lol

 

if anyone wants to know still, i have the proof that they are riveted
take a look, they are held on by 3 rivets, the bottom one i removed, i can get them, both sides if anyone needs a set, let me know
