A-Pillar Clip Question
2 Attachment(s)
When removing the a pillar trim cover does the clip get removed from the pillar post or is the clip just removed/unclipped from the pillar trim cover tab? I’ve looked at a lot of posts and pics and can’t really tell. My ‘13 has the newer version clip.

The clip should come off when you remove the A-pilar cover. There will be wires attaching it to the A-pilar
I posted some decent pics in this thread.. https://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47343 |
So the clip comes off the cover but stays attached to the pillar?

Yes... those wires are for the air bag so be gentle

This clip is designed to allow the A-pillar trim piece to remain "tethered" to the car body when the side curtain air bag is deployed. Inother words, the clip splits into 2 halves, with the tether wires holding the halves together. This part can be a pain to remove from the from the metal A-pillar post (ask me how I know) and once it is removed, it should not be reused. If you are buying a new A-pillar trim piece, both the tether clip and the other clip, are included with the trim piece. If you are looking to replace the tether clip, the GM part number is GM 11611451. This part used on alot of other GM cars and is normally in stock at any GM dealer. |

You may not have enough finger clearance. I believe also that the clip halves are only meant to separate once. (the halves may not snap back together as tight after separation, which could cause rattling of the pillar piece when driving) |

I installed the Autometer A Pillar and duel Aeroforce gauges, Don't over think it ( I tend to over think everything I get it ) once you pull it off the pillar you can slide it off of the cover and reinstall it in the new one, Once you pop cover off it will be easy to figure out. The hardest part I had was getting the bottom by the dash back together.

I get but you'll see what you have to do once you pop it off, if not just pop it back on . But you'll get it. If you are installing autometer it fits and look good.
