|
Checking and Adjusting the Headliner/Pillar Trim Overlap
|
To prevent the side curtain airbag from deploying and
damaging the pillar trim (A-pillar trim, B-pillar trim,
C-pillar trim, quarter pillar trim), the overlap between
the headliner and pillar trim must be less than 8 mm (0.31
in). To check the overlap, do this:
|
|
1.
|
Install the headliner (A) and the pillar trim (B).
|
|
![](images/books/497/a7d086ae8ec7bf9e827f80cf9a6f9d58.png)

Apply masking tape (A) to the headliner (B) to mark the
upper edge of the pillar trim (C).
|
|

3.
|
Remove the pillar trim, and measure the headliner overlap.
|
|
![](images/books/497/ca917ac4d6580542ad28730916ef1daa.png)
|
If the overlap is less than 8 mm (0.31
in), remove the tape, and install the pillar
trim.
|
|
|
![](images/books/497/ca917ac4d6580542ad28730916ef1daa.png)
