SRS components are located in this area. Review the
S
RS component locations (see page 24-11) and the
precautions and procedures (see page 24-13) before
doing repairs or service.
NOTE: Follow the C-pillar trim installation procedure carefully; improper installation could cause the side
curtain airbag to deploy improperly and possibly
cause injury.
Put on gloves to protect your hands.
Use the appropriate tool from the KTC trim tool set to avoid damage when removing components.
Take care not to scratch the trim and panels.
The front clip in the C-pillar trim (A) consists of a grommet (B) and a pin (C). The grommet expanded
with the pin secures it to the body panel (D). The
projections (E) on the pin are broken during removal,
so the clip must be replaced with a new one when the
trim is reinstalled. 1.
Remove these items:
Rear seat cushion (see page 20-133)
Rear seat side bolster (see page 20-134)
Rear door opening seal, as needed (see step 3 on page 20-68)
2. Fold the seat-back forward.
3. Hit the front clip in the C-pillar trim (A) with a rubber mallet. The clip is near the triangle mark (B).
Hitting the clip breaks the projections (C) on the pin
(D) and pushes it into the grommet (E) on the body
(F).
NOTE: The clip must be replaced with a new one
when the C-pillar trim is reinstalled.
