Title: A-pilliar covers - How to remove them ?
Post by: SJKOO01 on 22 May 2009, 20:56:22

Hi.

Need to remove the Passenger & Driver A-pillar covers on a facelift model, to run some electrical cable down them for an accessory.

Just need to know if its a simple case of unbolting the grab handles, and unclip the covers, or do you need some kind of special tool to take them off, as don't want to use a large blade screwdriver in the assumsion that the just unclip, then I go and break them ?!.   >:(

Can anyone advise please ?

Thanks.

M

IIRC There are two or three "regular" type of clips that are attached to the pastic cover and the pin-end of the clip goes in a hole in metal (could it be explained more unclear  :D ) But you'll figure it out when taking the cover off, just needs to be pulled sharply to free the clips.
