TITLE: TRIM REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

SECTION: GENERAL BULLETIN #167

MODELS: ALL TOYOTA LEXUS and SCION

DATE: JULY 2OO8

During collision repair and refinish operations it is often necessary to remove interior and exterior trim. Instructions and illustrations for removal and installation of trim can be found in the Interior and Exterior Panels/Trim section of model-specific Repair Manuals at www.techinfo.toyota.com. Collision repair professionals can view illustrations, step by step instructions, and helpful tips. Illustrations identify the type, quantity, and location of fasteners, as well as non-reusable items.

This information can enhance productivity and reduce damage to reusable trim and fasteners. It is important to remove and install trim properly, as improper installation may result in poor fit and unwanted noises that may negatively impact quality and customer satisfaction. Most important, improperly installed interior trim may become projectiles during airbag deployment.
