A-Pillar Trim Panel




A-Pillar Trim Panel

NOTE: This procedure is for vehicles equipped with side air curtains. On vehicles without side air curtains, the A-pillar trim panel is easier to remove and the retainers are reusable.

NOTE: The A-pillar trim panel is held in place by a clip that is snapped to the back of the panel. When installing the existing trim panel, a new clip must be installed.

1. NOTE: When removing the A-pillar trim panel, use a gentle side-to-side rocking motion to free the clip from the trim panel.

Remove the A-pillar trim panel and the clip from the sheet metal.

- Use a new A-pillar trim panel clip when installing.

2. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
- Align attachment clips to the holes and snap in place.
