vrocious Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 does anybody know(i'm sure there is definately more then one) how to safely remove the outer b pillar cover in my 280 2+2 i've got the haynes manual as i want to remove my rear glass to get a decent tint on it (old one is crap) but to get full access i need to remove the glass. the manual just simply states remove the cover then undo the screws for the glass but how do i "remove the cover" i can pull corners out a bit but can just see myself snapping it. is there a technique or is the manual neglecting something? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 On the interior trim piece of the B pillar, there is a single round plastic cap covering a nut. Remove the plastic cap, remove the nut being careful not to drop it down inside the trim panel. This nut is what's holding the pillar trim on. There are also about 6 little plastic tabs on the back side of the outter pillar trim that fit into plastic inserts in the holes that align the trim piece. Hope that splains it well enuf.

nbesheer Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 Also after removing my covers all those plastic clips broke. then when i replaced the covers with just the bolt everything is fine it doesn't rattle or anything so don't be worried if you break them.
