Interior Moulding / Trim: Description and Operation

Interior Trim

This section covers removal and installation of the interior mouldings and trim panels. In many instances, one component overlaps another component. If this condition is found, it will be necessary to loosen or remove the overlapping component before removal, to prevent damage to either component. The pillar trims and the headliner are safety critical assemblies as they mount the occupant sensors and interface with the side airbag curtains (to make sure correct deployment is achieved), and as such, correct alignment and installation are necessary for safety reasons.

The headliner is a one-piece design covering the entire interior of the roof and is made of a moulded composite with cloth covering. Finger depressions give pull-down access for the sun visors and passenger assist handles are provided.

There is an interior lamp fitted into the front of the overhead console.
