(top part) press the pillar inwards towards the a pillar frame (like compressing a spring) slide upwards, towards the roof line, to slide the pins out of the slot they are held in. the entire piece should fall away after it moves upwards about 1/2 inch or so.

All thought I did get 3 Ultra-light gauges for it so any bad fitting will be balanced by the bling of the Autometers
