Front Pillar Trim Repair Procedures

Replacement

Wear gloves to protect your hands.

When prying with a flat-tip screwdriver or a trim tool, wrap the tool with protective tape and apply protective tape to the surrounding parts to prevent damage. Use a plastic panel removal tool to remove the interior trim parts so as not to damage the surface. Be careful not to bend or scratch the trim and panels.
