A-Pillar Trim Removal

I can't seem to remove my A-Pillar trim. I removed the screw at the top end. I can pull it toward the back slightly but it just won't budge. I heard it is secured by push-clips. But how do I get to the push-clips??? Any help would be appreciated.

T-top or coupe? If the latter, the following link (page 3) may be helpful:

Re: A-Pillar Trim Removal

It's t-top. I figured it out. The A-pillars are to be gently pulled toward the middle of the car. There are 2 push clips that face with that orientation (on ttop model). For some reason on my passenger side, the bottom tip of the a-pillar got caught near the windshield and the dash... I gave it a yank and the plastic tip broke. 20 y.o plastic... Hopefully I can find a new a-pillar piece. You guys carry them?? Otherwise I'll have to expoxy glue it back on...
