A-Pillar Trim Panel: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lincoln MKX and 2014 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Install the lower A-pillar trim panel in the instrument panel.
WARNING: A new A-pillar trim panel tether must be installed if the tether is damaged or does not fasten correctly. During a side air curtain deployment the A-pillar trim panel tether helps prevent the trim from striking the occupant. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious injury to vehicle occupant(s).

Carefully route the A-pillar trim panel tether end through the hole in the A-pillar trim panel.
Install the A-pillar trim panel onto the A-pillar.
Install the door opening weatherstrip.
