B-Pillar Deploy Bracket: Removal
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jeep Renegade. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
If a side curtain airbag has been deployed, the B-pillar and C-pillar deploy brackets for the same side of the vehicle will be deformed or weakened and must be replaced with new units.
- Remove the side curtain airbag (also known as Side AirBag Inflatable Curtain/SABIC) from the vehicle. Refer to AIR BAG, SIDE CURTAIN, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
- Using a drill motor and an appropriate bit, carefully drill out the blind rivets that secure the deploy bracket to the inner B-pillar.
- Disengage the deploy bracket tabs from the slotted holes in the inner B-pillar and remove the bracket from the vehicle.
