Interior Trim Removal/Installation - Pillar Areas

Install the trim in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:

If the clips (A) are damaged or stress-whitened, replace them with new ones.
If the side curtain airbag has deployed, replace the center pillar upper trim, the center pillar lower trim, and all of the clips on the trim with new ones.
To prevent the side curtain airbags from deploying improperly and possibly causing injury, inspect the trim and replace it if it has any of these types of damage:

-	Any cracks or deformations in the center pillar upper trim (B) and the upper hooks (C), and any stress-whitened areas in the upper part of the trim
-	Any cracks or deformations in the center pillar lower trim (D), and any breakages in the part (E) fitted with the center pillar upper trim
-	Any cracks or stress-whitened areas in the clip seating surfaces (F)

Replace any damaged parts with new ones.
Make sure the top of the trim overlaps with the headliner correctly.
Make sure the pin (G) on the front seat belt shoulder anchor adjuster (H) and the hole (I) on the back of the slider are engaged when installing the center pillar upper trim.
Make sure the upper hooks are installed into the holes in the body securely.
Push the clip and the hooks into place securely.
Passenger's side: Apply medium strength liquid thread lock to the front seat belt anchor bolt before reinstallation.
Before installing the anchor bolt, make sure there are no twists or kinks in the seat belt.
