Re-attach A pillar trim

Nockalous · 22nd May 2018, 01:31

Sorry if this has been posted already -

But I accidentally tugged on the A pillar trim and the top part clipped off, is there any way to attach it back on? (See photos below)

Thank you!

You shoult just push it and kinda snap it back it and it should go inside just fine, it has 3 "clips" that come inside the bodywork, if you can take a look behind the trim, you will be able to see them and position the top clip perfectly so that you don't brake it when you push it it.

Oh awesome! Thank you so much, looked down the trim and saw the clip you mentioned. I just smashed it with my hand and now its back to normal!

Thank you.

Im wondering how to get these things off...
I got a DAB screen antenna I got to fit and it needs to be In contact with he chassis on the pillar and I nned to feed the wire in somewhere at the bottom near the windscreen

They just pull off, 3 plastic clips top, middle & bottom. Ease the top one off first, then you'll see the others.

Had to refit my dab after a new windscreen

Yeah - I was putting in a Microphone for the head unit and accidentally pulled it off with not much effort. I simply slammed on the middle part to put back in and she was good to go!

Read somewhere that when there was an airbag fitted it was extra fiddly..?

I’ve fed wires up behind it without removing, I just used a plastic tool from a Draper Trim Removal kit and simply pushed the wires in behind it, the tool being plastic doesn’t damage anything
