NOTE:
-
Take care not to scratch the headliner.
-
Use the appropriate tool from the KTC trim tool set to avoid damage when removing components.
1. Remove the caps (A), and remove the self-tapping ET screws, then remove the grab handle (B).
2. If the side curtain airbag has deployed replace the grab handle with a new one.
3. If the side curtain airbag has not deployed, to prevent the side curtain airbags from deploying improperly and possibly causing injury, inspect
removed grab handle (A) and replace it if it has any cracks or breakages.
4. Install the grab handle in the reverse order of removal, and if the threads on a grab handle screw is worn out, use an oversized self-tapping ET
screw (P/N 90137-SOA-003) made specifically for this application.
