Russ,
A-pillar is easy. Just open the door & pull the rubber insulation strip that runs along the bottom of the A pillar off the rail. You will then see the screws holding the pillar in place. Unfortunately, the B pillars, which is what I think you are refering to as the panels near the glass hatch, require a bit more work. None of these pillars can be pryed off, as they are screwed in. The B pillars are bolted from inside the car (3 screws) & numerous snap-on clips. You will have to pry off all of the vinyl trim panels behind the seats to access the B pillars from inside the car. Once you pry these interior panels off, you should be able to look & see where the screws are. I had a professional car stereo installer do this as they are very accustomed to tearing up interiors. I then had these peices painted by my body shop along w/ the roof. Just didn't want body shop guys messing around the interior as it's not their area of expertise. Hope this helps.
