Hey Everyone,

Thank you in advance for any guidance on this, but I have identified a loose component behind the C-pillar trim (interior) of my Sedan 8Y RS3 (2023). I am having a hard time prying that piece off, it's on there pretty good and I don't want to break anything getting too aggressive, I was wondering if anyone has any experience removing this trim piece and any tips?

I purchased a guide and it describes that I effectively need to take the entire entry trim/C-pillar apart (pretty much all the trim pieces shown in that image) to remove that one small trim piece, which I find absurd and borderline antagonistic by Audi trim Engineers. Maybe this is God's punishment for me buying a sedan RS3?

I pretty much have a loose bolt/washer/mystery component courtesy of Audi Ingolstadt in there, and shoving closed cell foam pieces in there has not resolved it, the (inaccessible) crevice behind that trim piece seems to be too cavernous.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
