you can pop the plastic trim if you're looking to wrap it in fabric or vinyl.

vinyl wont work on the pillars. Not enough surface contact. Try either wrapping it in fabric or painting.

sorry about reviving an old thread but anyone know what kind of material i should use for wrapping my headliner, pillars, and rear deck? also what adhesive will hold up to the temps of the inside of a car in the summer?

3m makes a specific headliner glue/adhesive

As for the pillar - most people glue the back side and leave the front side of the pillar alone. Then glue doesn't get through the fabric, or show down the road. It'll keep the fabric soft, and you won't see/feel glue coming through. So glue the back & stretch the fabric across the front of the pillar.

it's not like it's instantly stuck to the spot... have you ever seen someone do a headliner? You have some time to play with the fabric
