Checking and Adjusting the Headliner/Pillar Trim Overlap

To prevent the side curtain airbag from deploying and damaging the pillar trim (A-pillar trim, B-pillar trim, C-pillar trim, quarter pillar trim), the overlap between the headliner and pillar trim must be less than 8 mm (0.31 in). To check the overlap, do this:

Install the headliner (A) and the pillar trim (B).

Apply masking tape (A) to the headliner (B) to mark the upper edge of the pillar trim (C).

If the overlap is more than 8 mm (0.31 in), go to step 4.
