Headliner / pillars ?

[JAZ32*PD*]

Does any one know how to remove the interior headliner and pillars without deploying airbags or breaking clips???

 

[BoostedSpd6]

i dont think the airbags will deploy when u remove the pillars.. to my knowledge there clippped and wrapped up away from the pillar itself and shoot down when they go off not at u.. maybe someone with more knowledge then me can leborate on this

That's fine and dandy in the A-pillar til you get into an accident and they become projectiles....

That's what full-faced helmets are for. If you really want people to think your car is fast, they will if you're wearing a helmet driving on the street. (shady)

my mom makes me wear a helmet everywhere anyways so i would be protected if they did fly off (wiggle)

might be able to disconnect battery before hand just for some extra security

any solid information on the pillar airbags deploying or not if you take the pillar covers off?

the problem with disconnecting the battery is the srs systems in most cars has a backup voltage that can stay running for 7 hrs

I took my pillars off.


No airbag deployment.


Battery was still connected too!


Lol.

 

[baja2700]

did you just use your hands and pulled them off?

 

[angelfem]

what about the headliner...how do you get that baby out?

 

[Texansrcool2]

I don't know about the headliner.

But the pillar has three clips in it.

Get a small screwdriver.

And be careful. Cause one of them is very hard and you have to kind of pull out on pillar to get it to pop.

Don't break it.

Since you have to pry, I've found that using a butter knife is a little easier and doesn't mark up the plastic as much.

Yeah that's probably smart. But I mounted pillar gauges on top of it so i didn't really care if they got scratched haha.

i got the front 2 and middle pillars off easy the backs are worrying me it seems like the airbag is actually attatched to the plastic? texansrcool2 did you also take the back ones off?
