Default Help: B6 A-Pillar Reassembly

I just installed a Parrot CK3100. The installation was easy, but long story short, I ran out of time and decided to run the mic cable later. Anyway, I ended up removing the A-pillar cover completely. I was able to get it back on, but the part that touches the windshield isn't flush with the pillar anymore. It bows out so you can see inside the pillar a little from outside the windshield.

There aren't any clasps on the edge there to hold it on. Did I break it or is there a trick to getting that to stick?

Default Problem Solved

I took it by the dealership today to confirm that there are no clips on the edge, just three big clips down the middle of the A-pillar.

So I took the cover off again and used a blow dryer to heat the plastic as hot as possible. After about twenty minutes, I squeezed the plastic back into shape as much as possible. The difference was noticeable.

Next, I removed the three clips and used some pliers to bend them back into shape. I took awhile to get everything line back up, but I go it to go back perfectly. I can't even tell there was a problem.
