Rear A-Pillar!!

Just finished buttoning up the rear boot after installing the factory Sirius. The rear C-pillar not A-pillar is held in place with just a plastic tab, the metal locking piece is on the body's frame. This makes for a very difficult re-installation because the plastic tab wants to bend and does not go back into the slot with ease. Lucky for me Pep'r's hands are tiny and she had much greater patience.

Just wanted to pass this along to anyone wanting to take this project on.



Sorry....I can not change the title.

Just curious, but anyone want to answer this. I thought the pillars in the back are C pillars. A's are in the front, B's are in the middle and C's are in the rear.

Anyone?

. . . and if it's a station wagon or mini-van, there is also a "D-pillar" farther back. . . .
