If you very carefully lift up on the pillar, similar to what you are doing in the video, You can get that clip out of there and slide in a new one.

See attached PDF. When you lift up on the finisher, there is a "saddle" that sits over a nib in the body. About 3 or 4 inches back.
If you carefully lift straight up, you should be able to replace that pin.
thank you for that pic, even at the dealership they opened up a diagram and looked they couldn't figure out what clip that was. I'm guessing it's what the A is pointing to. Not completely sure but in the second picture is that other "A" pointing to a bolt holding it in place behind the door?

how would you pop that clip out without breaking it?


here's a better video of where it snapped, for those who asked
https://youtu.be/ECfhtp2ql10

also what kind of clip is that called? (so I can order a new one, maybe two if i break the one behind the door)
