CAUTION:

Visually inspect the trim panels for damage before every installation.
Do not make any repairs to the trim panels (A-pillar upper trim panel, B-pillar trim panels, C-pillar trim panels and D-pillar trim panels)
Make sure the trim panels are secure when installing.
Always replace the entire module when making repairs behind the head curtain airbag.
Handle head curtain airbag modules with great care when removing and installing them to prevent causing any damage.
Place any removed head curtain airbag modules back in their shipping packaging or on a clean and even surface with a cloth underneath.
After body repairs near the head curtain airbag, check the body for welding splatter, deformations and chafing (compare with opposite side of vehicle).
As long as the gas generator is NOT attached, hold it securely when transporting, removing and installing, etc.
Never rotate, coil, knot, throw, slide, push, hang, squeeze, press, pinch or clamp the head curtain airbag module.
They may be folded as long as this does not damage them, especially the protective cover.
