Sixto- well, give me the "senior moment award" for having a short memory... I remember now that I had to remove the grab assist handle above the door window on each side (just pry the plastic covers off the ends to expose the bolts), pry the headliner side piece down enough in the front to clear the end of the A pillar trim piece and it will come out.
Sorry about the error... musta been a random short between the ears.
