A pillar trim panel replacement

Jverado · 05-26-2021, 11:31 PM

Hello, the dealership had my passenger A pillar from off and didn't put it back on correctly and it also is worn to the point where it won't grab the metal clip so it sticks out from the pillar. I ordered a new one as I don't trust them and it's cheap. Does anyone have any diagrams or instructions as to what tabs lock in where and how the wiring harness is routed? It looks as if it twists around but if it doesn't lay in there a certain way it doesn't stay flat and it looks like it could possibly chaff. Thanks.

Here's what the service manual says about it, not too much, but hopefully still useful.

Have the part numbers you could share?

Since the dealer took it off, shouldn't that without question be a warranty repair? I would even make the argument that they should replace the part if it happened after the warranty period.

Normally yes, but the gas,tolls, time spent and them being less careful than me, isn't worth the $45 shipped it cost me. I'm all for making people fix their mistakes and save money, but in this case I figured I'd just handle it. I haven't had a lot of free time either lately, so the convenience is worth a lot to me right now.
