I'm wanting to plasti dip the pillars instead of wrapping them in material to keep an oem look. I have also read that wrapping them can prevent the airbags working properly which I'd rather keep the functionally of. I have also read pulling at the pillar can set off the air bags, again something I don't want to happen. Has anyone got a guide put together as to how to remove the pillar plastics, front, middle and back and the roof liner if possible as I can't find one in the guide section?
 
no airbags can be set off whilst taking the A, B, C or the roof lining out.

A pillars just pull out followed by one hex screw.
B pillars you need to lossen the seatbelts off in the rear footwell and simply pull from the top of the B pillar to remove.

C pillars, Again just pull from the top (be carefull of the slide clips by the rear window) two screws under the parcel shelf support (viewed from the boot)

Perfect thanks, may have to be my next thing to have a go at then.
Is the A pillar screw at the bottom I'm presuming if you pull all the pillars from the top?
 
KBonnie the headlining will come out after you have removed ABC's, Interior light, grab handles and Sun visors, you will also find two small round push clips (best to get a fork for these as they are a pita!) again you will need to pull the door and boot seals out the way.
after that simply bend the lining in slightly to remove from the boot.
