Anyone know how to remove the B pillar trim on the coupe without breaking? Got a very irritating rattle that requires attention!
Cheers

It is held on with two clips that may break if original ones due to age/brittleness.

You should be able to gently force it upwards and the clips should give but may also break. Cost very little from BMW

Might be wrong, but I had what I thought was a b pillar rattle and it turned to be the locking pin for the door!

I think it's coming from the bit beneath the rear window but need to get the B trim off first? Major PITA!
Cheers guys

Managed to get the trim off without breaking any clips, result! There are a few different screws/bolts under the trim below the window which were a bit loose hopefully thats fixed the rattle...
