git0 git0 is offline Registered User Interior Trim - Model 124 Rear Pillar Model 124 - Rear Pillar Removal (job 68-449) Many of us have come to this problem in connection with a sagging headliner - how to remove the trim on the rear pillar. The manual is unclear in some respects - so I finally removed mine. The panel is attached similar to the door panel with several plastic clips that is part of the plastic pillar trim. The clips hook into the interior of the rear side of the roof panel. What the manual omits is a clear instructionon which way to push the trim to free the trim without breaking the molded clips. 1. Remove the chafing strip from the door frame in the area where it mets the trim. The chafing is the soft material is that soft material that lines the door entry and often gets dirty. When you remove the chafing you will see that this material wraps rubber That has a channel that fits over where the interior and outer rear roof panel meet. Its fits by pressing the chaffing onto the metal. You will see when you remove it. Only pull pull back that portion of the chaffing where it meets the trim. 2. The clips look like an upside down J but with the hook facing forward. If you pull the panel out away from the interior wall or forward toward the front seat - they will break. You have to push the leading edge of the trim panel straight back toward the rear window (so the J hooks are free of the opening in the roof panel) and then pull out. Remember how on the door panel you have to push the door panel inward - and then up to release the clip - this is the same principal). 3. There are three (3) of these clips. Sitting in the rear seat facing the left rear trim look at the opening for the seat belt. Two of the clips are about 1/2 inch above and below that opening. The third clip is about 1 inch below the top edge. Distance of these clips from the right edge of the trim is about 1 /2 to 1 inch. 4. Once you have released those you need to pull it out from the side fo the roof line. There is another clip that fits into the metal roof line - in sort of a compression fit. It is toward the upper middle of the trim panel. Now you can wiggle this trim free. You will then see the back edge of the trim hooks around the metal edge by the back window - not a big deal - you will see it when you remove the trim. 5. Installation is the reverse order - start by hooking the back edge then push the trim back into place and hook the clips in place with a closed fist or rubber mallet. Then replace the chaffing strip by pressing it pack into place. Good luck guys. |
