To prevent the side curtain airbags from deploying improperly and possibly causing injury, inspect removed pieces and replace them if they have any of these types of damage:
-
Any crease or tears in the headliner (A)
-
Any cracks or breakages in the grab handle (B)
-
Any damage around the grab handle holes (C) or sunvisor holes in the headliner
-
Any cracks in the sunvisor stay base (D)
-
Any bends or cracks in the sunvisor stay shaft (E)
-
Any cracks in the sunvisor base (F)
-
Any cracks or breakages in the vanity mirror base (G)
-
Any fasteners (H) and clip bases (I) which have come off the headliner
When installing the grab handle, push on the handle against the bracket (J) until the clips (K) snap into place securely.
Check if the clips are damaged or stress-whitened, and if necessary, replace them with new ones.
Replace the removed cushion tapes with new ones.
Check that both sides of the headliner are securely attached to the trim.
When reinstalling the headliner through the front passenger's door opening, be careful not to fold or bend it. Also, be careful not to scratch the body.
If the threads on a visor screw are worn out, use an oversized self-taping ET screw P/N 90137-S30-003 mode specifically for this application.
