Default Driver's seat belt R&R

I have a 1993 Camry 4 door. I need to replace the driver's seat belt, but I'm not sure how to remove the center pillar "garnish". I'm concerned that it will break if I pull too hard on it. I can't see any screws holding it in place.

Anyone know the trick of how to do this?

Appreciate any tips or pointer to further info.

The are no screws.

The trim piece is held on at the curved edges. The edges are forced over then inner piece the trim attaches to.

Thanks for your answer. I'm wondering when you mention the 'curved' portion if that's the part at the bottom that curves towards the front and rear.
I'd rather know how to do it correctly than break it.

The trim piece snaps onto the chassis.

Find the trim piece the seat belt goes behind on the center pillar of the chassis.

Look at the edge of this piece in the door jam area. You should see that the edges of the trim piece are curved. The curved portion snaps onto the chassis.

Use a taped over flat blade screw driver (to protect the finish) and gently pry the edge of the trim piece off the chassis. Start at one section of the piece that has an corner that is not attached such as the top or bottom.
