- To prevent the side curtain airbags from deploying improperly and possibly causing injury, inspect removed pieces and replace them, if they have any of these types of damage:
- Any creases or tears in the headliner (A)
- Any fasteners (B) or clip bases (C) which have come off the headliner

- When reinstalling the headliner through the door opening, be careful not to fold or bend it too much. Also, be careful not to scratch the body.
- If the threads on a visor or grab handle screw are worn out, use an oversized self4apping ET screw made specifically for this application:

Visor: P/N 90136-S30-003

- Check that both sides of the headliner are securely attached to the trim.
- Make sure the top of the pillar trim overlaps with the headliner correctly.
- Do the moonroof calibration.
