Hi with extreme difficulty, a lot of swearing and possibly new clips, its normally easier to remove the rubber seal down the door panel and poke the wire inside but a lot of cars I have done lately have the strip glued to the metal bead held on with some sort of double sided cloth tape, don't be to afraid of giving the pillar trim some action as if you have the right set of trim removal tools it takes a lot to break it.

Hmmm… that’s what I did with my last A3. Might resort to doing it here 🤔
