Or spend ~$400 for a more durable carbon fiber pair. Hmmm...
Decisions, decisions.
Thanks for the help.

So i removed my b pillars the other day and broke one of the slotted tabs.
Basically because i was impatient and didn't look hard enough.
What you should be doing is putting a long handle slotted pry tool all the way under the b pillar and popping out the retaining pins (iirc they are white plastic) You're not actually supposed to apply any stress on the b pillar finisher when removing it. Assuming after breaking a single b pillar we both learn our lesson. There shouldn't be any issue with removing the oem b pillar in the future. You might grease the white pins for even easier removal when you reinstall them.
TLDR: the oem b pillar doesnt' need to be sturdy if you remove it properly.
