SRS components are located in this area. Review the
SRS component locations (see page 24-19) and the
precautions and procedures (see page 24-23) before
doing repairs or service.
NOTE:
• Follow the C-pillar trim installation procedure
carefully; improper installation could cause the side
curtain airbag to deploy improperly and possibly
cause injury.
• Put on gloves to protect your hands.
• Use the appropriate tool from the KTC trim tool set to
avoid damage when removing components.
• Take care not to scratch the trim and the panels.
• The upper clip in the C-pillar trim (A) consists of a
resin grommet (B) and a metal pin (C). The grommet
expanded with the pin secures it to the body panel (D).
The grommet must be replaced with a new one when
the trim is reinstalled.
