Clamp for upper trim of A-pillars
Depending on the design, various clamps are used to secure the upper trim of the A-pillars:
- Version A: clips without hooks "Arrow". In the center and/or at the bottom of the cladding.
- Version B: clips with "Arrow" hooks. In the center and/or at the bottom of the cladding.
Removal the upper trim of the A-pillars
Press the cap "1" with the "Airbag" icon using a screwdriver by approximately 5 mm "arrow A".
Depending on the type of clamps installed in the car, the trim may have a different offset - in the direction of arrow B - from the A-pillar. For clamps with hooks, the trim may be offset by only a few millimeters from the hooks. Carefully unfasten the upper trim of the A-pillar "2", starting from the top, using the lever "80-200" "arrow B". Move the A-pillar trims forward and remove "Arrow C". Depending on the design, the clamp slides when pulled up from the trim guide.
Installation
When installing the upper A-pillar trim, do not pinch the head airbag. Installation in reverse order: the clips in the middle and at the bottom must be replaced. Clips without hooks must be replaced with clips with hooks. Insert the upper A-pillar trim "1" into the fastening "2" of the front panel and the front threshold trim in the "direction of the arrow".
Secure the upper A-pillar trim and press in the spacer cap with the "Airbag" symbol to secure the clamp. Cover with the edge of the door seal.
