The exterior a-pillar exterior panel On my way! my SC has pulled away at the bottom. The culprit see,s to be a broken clip used to retain it. Whil trying to diagnose the issue a second clip also broke.

Does anyone know if I can just pull the remaining clips free and replace the to re-install? I will try to add a picture of the parts list.

The part and clips are shown halfway down the page on the left hand side in the box.

Thanks!

Thanks, I was just going to order up all new clips that are still available. Can you confirm that I should be able to remove this part by just pulling carefully?

A Pillar outside is held by a bolt. Do not try to pull it out. You will have to remove the A Pillar (inside) trim and unfree the bolt, there is a pdf available on this forum on how to remove this A Pillar Trim. It is quite tricky. Search “windshield replace” and you will get hits and one of them will contain the pdf that you need (if you do not have it yet).

Also regarding the clips, there are several clips and there should be equal rubber mounts when the clips engage.

I found out about this when my Windshield was replaced this weekend.

Good luck.
