A-pillar trim

I'm installing a ham radio in my 1998 F-150 stepside. I'd like to run the antenna wire up the a-pillar toward the roof, then install an on-glass antenna toward the top of the windshield. Before I start, is there anything tricky about removing and reinstalling the a-pillar trim?

Thanks.

Joey

Unless you have grab handles it pops off. Just pull straight so you don't break the plastic tabs.

I do have grab handles. I assume I have to unbolt them first. Also, I found a reference to a Ford service bulletin about the a-pillar trim on some years removed by pushing up first and then pulling out.
