My exterior a-pillar covers on my 2000 GT convertible aren't sitting flush like they should be.
Right before I got the car, the previous owner had Safelite replace the windshield due to a couple faulty crack repairs, and I think they damaged the A-pillar covers. It looks like to me that they just pulled the covers to the side instead of removing them when they put the new windshield in (I could be wrong, but that's how it looks). I haven't taken them off yet, but it looks like there's a bolt at the bottom, one screw up at the top under the interior panel, and some snaps along the length. Could they have damaged the snaps, and are they easily replaceable, or do I need to replace the whole piece on both sides. I'm trying to get all the body issues like this fixed before it goes into paint (scheduled for the 31st, so I have a little time if I need to order something).
I've attached pictures of both so you can see how they sit.
