You'll need some serious luck as these pieces are almost always broken, mostly the top one. People tearing into them without knowing proper removal is how it happens. It's not exactly intuitive!
First you remove the lower piece from the window by popping it out at the bottom, then while you have the bottom hinged away a little bit, pop it up - it has a row of clips going down into the metal at the top, and forward into it at the bottom.
Then you remove the screws from the lower ends of the B pillars and then pop them away from the metal; they've got clips in them too. Of course you've already had to remove the seatbelt anchor bolts. You then hinge the B pillars inwards at the bottom; they have interlocking fingers that go into the piece at the top of the window - so you're moving the lower part of the B pillar plastic towards the middle of the cab, so you can very carefully slip the fingers out of the top piece.
Then the top piece only has a few screws retaining it - two inside the dome light (regular/crew cab) and a couple at either end; not all trucks have the screws at the ends.

Dont think so.Is there a company who maybe makes these pieces I need?
Thanks everyone. Got the pieces I needed at a local salvage yard for $125. The top piece has a minute crack above the coat hanger. Will try some acrylic solvent cement for that. Otherwise it looks good. Also going to be using that special paint that lmc sells for panels. Its suppose to penetrate into the material. Anybody used that product? One other thing, is there a thread where people show their inside panels/ dashes after painting them? I'm sure there is one somewhere. My truck is a metallic green and the interior panels are a light grey or dark grey. Was wondering on other colors, maybe black?
