Genly pry off the small plastic cover that has side curtain written on it. The single bolt is behind the cover (uae 8mm socket) Remove weatherstripping from door jamb that covers the edge of the A pillar cover. Use fingers to pry A pillar cover off. I learned this procedure by watching a YouTube video that showed this on a Pilot I believe. Same steps for the PP. I just did it today to upgrade the tweeters.
Need Help removing front A-Pillar cover
Hello All ......... I have a 2021 PASSPORT EX-L and I am wanting to install my dash cam that requires I remove the drivers side pillar cover but I can't find a schematic for how it's attached with the side curtain airbag behind it. I'm hoping someone can offer advice as to the proper way to remove the cover. I think there are "at least" 2 clips and possibly on screw but am not sure. Yes I will be routing the dash cam cable in back of the airbag assembly. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I haven't tried to pull the A pillar covers on my Passport, but I pulled them from a 2006 Civic, after a hail storm. In that case the plastic "upper" clip was not to be reused.
To get it to release, I had to press (not pull) hard on the A pillar cover, where the upper air bag "stamp" was.
I bought a new one and saw how it was actually a "break-away" clip. If I mess with my Passport, I'll look up the A pillar's clip(s) part numbers and prices. If they're a couple of bucks, they're not special. If they're more than $5 each, I'll order them.
