Open the roof and then you will see a torx headed screw at the top of the A pillar. Remove the screw and then the trim slides up along the A pillar about 10mm - 15mm to release the trim from the heads of the clips.

After you have removed the trim, then prise out all the plastic retaining clips from the A pillar.
Refit all the plastic clips, one at a time to the trim panel, then align all the trim clip pointed ends with the holes in the A pillar and press the trim panel back into place. Finally refit the one torx screw at the top.
