A pilliar w123 inside trim

The ps a pillar trim in my cd has a bit of a gap between it's bottom and the dash. Looks normal uptop.





What's the best way to shift it down a bit? I tried pressing but want to be gentle on 30 yo plastic...

Thanks!

It actually isn't plastic. It is foam on a metal core, wrapped in vinyl.

You can pop it off by placing a plastic trim wedge (http://www.harborfreight.com/5-piece-auto-trim-and-molding-tool-set-67021.html) and pulling it in towards the center of the car. Then check the clips to see if they've been damaged. You could also just try and push the side that's out of alignment. I bet the clips have just been shifted or bent after something or someone bumped that trim piece.
