KTC trim tool set SOJATP2014
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 A-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 upper clip in the A-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

. Pull the door opening seal away from the A-p
illar
as needed (see step 4 on page 20-66).
2. Hit the upper clip in the A-p illar trim (A) with a
rubber mallet. The clip is under the ‘‘SIDE CURTAIN
AIRBAG’’ 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 upper clip must be replaced with a new
one when the A-pillar trim is reinstalled.
