A-Pillar Trim Panel - Removal

REMOVAL

CAUTION: If the high-retention snap clip (3) is removed from the sheet metal, it will be damaged and must be replaced with a new tether and snap clip unit. Also, if the rosebud on the plastic tether is damaged due to misalignment and does not engage, it must be replaced with a new plastic tether.





1. Carefully pull the upper end of the trim away from the A-pillar far enough to disengage the rosebud retainer (6) and unfold the tether (2).
2. Using a screwdriver or equivalent, carefully disengage the tether clip (1) and slide from housing on the A-pillar trim panel.





3. Carefully pull the bottom end of the trim away from the A-pillar to disengage the spring clip retainer.
4. Remove A-pillar trim from vehicle.
