How does one remove this 'A' pillar trim please this trim

Can anybody tell me how this trim marked 'A' on the attached pic is removed. I need to glue the flapping piece of rubber at the top?

It’s only held on with plastic trim clips, so just carefully prise it off.

Very easy to break the trim clips, so best to have some spares at the ready.

Always replace the trim clips if you are removing it or reseal with Sikaflex (other sealants are available) as there is a potential for water ingress if the clips aren't seated properly or are broken... I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

Advanced Factors have them, but the postage likely makes them expensive.

AF used to do a large box of assorted clips, might be worth asking if they still do it as there will be other clips you will need in the future and that is a very cost effective way to go Very Happy I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

These trim clips can be bought on eBay for around £5 incl postage

Looks like you need two types - mostly Yellow with a couple of White ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

Just to wrap this thread up it looks like there are two types of fastener used, 5 (4+1) in total per side.
As RonP suggested I've just ordered enough for both sides off the bay for £5.65 delivered. Bargin

Ok rubber glued and trim is back on.
The fasteners all broke when I pulled it off.
The only thing of note is that the bottom (white in my pack) fastner that is unique would not install no matter how much I tried. Swopped to a yellow one and bingo - first time.
