I had this same problem and I basically used a thin screwdriver with some cloth on the end of it. i pushed the fabric down nicely with no apparent damage.

Removing the pillars is easy. My fabric was peeling at the bottom of both sides. Take a razor blade and pry off the Airbag label. Underneath is a torx screw. Remove that. Then you need to pull until a clip pops out near the windshield and right in the middle of the panel. Just need to fiddle with it a little. I pulled my fabric tight and used crazy glue to hold it tight. Installing the pillar back is easy. Just put the front clip in first and then line up the other. I managed to break one of the clips and had to shell out $.90 for a new one.

Everything looks perfect now. Good luck

Thanks, I plan to use some fabric adhesive to glue the cloth back on.
