Request for Assistance: Removing A Pillar

Hi everyone,

I need to run a wire down the A-pillar. Does anyone know how to remove these clips? It looks like there are only two and each one is different. Is the top one a crushable/replacement clip that you have to hit with a mallet? I tried ant they're not budging.

Any assistance would be so appreciated.

It does have the airbag logo, but it’s not a one-time use crush clip. I figured it out. I had to pull towards my face and to the right in order to get the pillar removed. The top clip does not come out of the frame, but rather the pillar slides off it. Only after the pillar is removed can one remove the clip from th frame and re-insert it into the pillar.

Hopefully, this helps someone else out.
