Left Windshield Pillar Cover removal

I have a 2003 Ford F250 7.3 and need to run some wires under the windshield pillar on the left side up to the headliner. I haven't been able to find any instructions on how to remove the pillar cover. The top seems to be held in by a plastic snap, but bottom seems to go under part of the dashboard. I'm sure that anyone that has installed pillar gauges has overcome this problem.

I want to wire up roof running lights, and install a CB above the windshield, but can't figure out how to get the pillar cover off.

Thanks,

Rick in Las Vegas

On my 03, you have to remove the plugs that are in the pillar handle and then there are sheet metal screws that hold it to the window frame. The handle will NOT come off of the plastic as it is held in place for alinement by a couple of small screws in the plastic....at least that is the way my is and I'm pretty sure it's never been off the truck. Hope this helps.
