To recycle the pillar trim, all foil or fabric must be removed from it.
Fold up the foil or fabric all round. Then pull it off.

Remove the metal rails and release the cover from the aluminium rail. Remove the trim moulding and number plate holder.

The wing liner has clips which must be removed prior to recycling.
Remove the clips by sawing or cutting.
