Had an issue of a wiggling drivers side A pillar grab handle so did my research; read the notes and saw all the videos. Ordered a new replacement online (around $45 so not bad) and today was the day. Popped the bolt covers off and when I put in the socket it sure seemed odd the screws came right out. Pulled the piece of trim off and yep, it was perfectly fine and that the only thing was the mounting screws had backed off. Ill just keep the new part as a spare for if/when it does break. Lesson learned, I'm passing this on to anyone who might have the same issue.

 

Proper term is "OSB".
