2. Remove the C-pillar trim (A).
-
1 Pry the C-pillar cap (B) out until it is stopped by the hooks (C). Release the hooks and pull the cap out of the grommet (D). Discard the cap.
-
2 Pull the C-pillar trim back by hand to detach the clips, then remove the trim.
3. Install the trim in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
-
Check the clips for damage or stress-whitening, and replace them with new ones.
-
Do not reuse the C-pillar cap; always replace it.
-
If the side curtain airbag has deployed, replace the C-pillar trim with new one.
-
To prevent the side curtain airbag from accidentally deploying, removed trim pieces should be checked for these kinds of damage:
-
Any cracks, deformations, or press-whitenings in the C-pillar trim (A)
-
Any cracks, or press-whitenings in the grommet and clip seating surfaces (B)
-
Bent or broken grommet (C)
-
Replace any damaged parts with new ones.
-
Make sure the top of the trim overlaps with the headliner correctly.
-
Push the clips into place securely.
