SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations See: Restraint Systems/Air Bag Systems/Locations and the precautions
and procedures See: Dashboard / Instrument Panel/Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming/Service and Repair before doing repairs or service.
NOTE:
-
If side airbags and/or side curtain airbags have deployed, the affected pillar area trim and attachment clips must be replaced. Refer to Component
Replacement/Inspection After Deployment See: Restraint Systems/Air Bag Systems/Service and Repair.
-
Put on gloves to protect your hands.
-
Take care not to scratch the trim or the panels.
-
Use the appropriate tool from the KTC trim tool set to avoid damage when removing components.

The upper clip (A) in the A-pillar trim (B) consists of a plastic grommet (C) and a metal pin (D). The grommet expanded by the pin secures it to
the body panel (E). The projections (F) on the pin break during removal, so the upper clip must be replaced with a new one when the trim is
reinstalled.
1. Pull the front door opening seal away from the A-pillar, as needed See: Scuff Plate/Service and Repair.
2. Hit the upper clip (A) in the A-pillar trim (B) with a rubber mallet. Hitting the clip breaks the projections (C) on the pin (D) and pushes it into the
grommet (E) on the body (F).
NOTE: The upper clip must be replaced with a new one when the A-pillar trim is reinstalled.
