How to remove / access A pillar trim - '96 coupe?

Hello all -

I want to hardwire my radar detector (high mount) but I'm not sure how to get into the A pillar of my '96 Civic to run the wire. It feels like I can just tuck the wire between the headliner and the roof of the car at the windshield, but I don't know how to run the wire up the pillar. I've heard you just pull on the trim and it snaps off, but I'm hoping for a little more detail than that.

Apologies if the answer is somewhere right in front of me, I did several searches and didn't come up with it, and Haynes/Chilton manuals don't cover the A Pillar.

Thanks!

Just did this this weekend. Pull the trim towards you. It'll come off. It's a PITA, since it lips around the door. After you have the A Pillar off, you'll be able to drop your wires right down through the dash.
