other cars may vary this is for a VW passat trim removal. I recommend disconnecting the battery if your worried about airbags.

You had me at "should just pull off". Don't have to ask me twice!
😅😅😅
I just want to say thank you so much I've been searching for hours to find videos on how to pop out my family and I have not seen a single one
This helped me figure out removing the pillar trim on my 2018 Acura MDX. No long winded blabbing, you get right to it. Thanks!!
Your welcome and I agree nothing worse than a long drawn out video that can be sumerised very quickly. 😋👍🏻
Thank you so much for this video. Saved me ripping my interior apart with a crowbar 😅
haha that sounds expensive
Thanks for this. I've just bought a Fakra gps unit and have been advised to place it in the pillar trim. Wasn't sure how, but after seeing this video, I'm well informed. Cheers
My GPS was magnetic and stuck to my dash I did have it tucked behind the head unit but I don't think it liked being hidden 😅
@@dayv mines magnetic too, and I did think about placing it behind the dash. However, many on a forum have recommend the passenger pillar. As such, I went in search of how to remove said pillar, and stumbled across your vid. Very helpful, thanks 👍
I appreciate getting right to the point. Exactly what I was looking for and thank you!
Your welcome 👍🏻
Had my windshield replaced and completely forgot about this screw. Thanks for the refresher
Thank-you! Everyone else was just saying pull harder LoL
If in doubt get a pokey tool out. Please subscribe 😎👍🏻
Exactly what I was looking for too! - Thank you! Cheers!
Helped me fit my dab aerial thankyou for showing us this video 🖒😉
Спасибо тебе добрый человек, thanks mate🤝🇺🇦🇬🇧
Great help didnt want the air bag to go off or damage, great tip about hidden screw
Right to the point! THANK YOU
I came here to check how to properly "pop off" the cover clip....
Hopefully it helped even if it wasn't done 'properly'. Please also subscribe :)
I figured out the 2005 button ..it's a two piece first put the little clear button in and then push into place and lock it in then you put the side curtain button and lock in
Thank you for that video.
Very helpful. 👍
Many thanks, very helpful
Nice and informative Dave.
Glad you enjoyed it
Very helpful, thank you.
Trying to find a video of a 2015-21 Ford Edge A pillar trim removal. Want to run wire under it to windshield and dash
Great thank you!
I had a new door seal fitted on my Mk VI golf, I wasn't confident replacing it myself. But when the guy fitted it and he was hammering it in, he cracked the pillar vent. It's driver side, so annoys me. If I wanted to replace just the vent, do I still need to remove the whole A- Pillar? Is it easy job or not? Many thanks
Hello. I'm not a mechanic so can't recommend what to do from a professional point of view. But if I was your id just get some plyers and pull the old vent out and see how it looks on the reverse. It could be that you just buy a new one and clip it into place from the front. Let me know how it goes.
Did you disconnect the negative lead on the battery before doing that? As one video I watched suggested it needs to be done and I can't be aggro'd with doing that lol
I didnt bother. I guessif your paranoid about the airbag going off (unlikely) then you could disconnect it for a moment. To let it drain any power remaining in the system.
Did you disconnect the battery before you did any of this to prevent the airbag from going off or is it not needed?
I didn't and had no issues. But if your near airbags it might be an idea to disconnect it.
What to do if I have airbags in those panels I don’t want them popping in my face
Disconnect the battery. Remove the black negative cable and wait 20secs or so for the energy to deplete. Then carry on as you were around the A pillar.
Thank you.
thanks pal fitting my dab today

Thanks, really helped me.
What vehicle are you working on here?
Passat B6 2006 Saloon 2.0tdi right hand drive.
Are those other holes provisions for a Grab handle for the A-pillar?
Don't think so. I think it's just an assisted crumple zone to absorb energy in the event of a crash.
@@dayv Thanks! I was looking for a way to add grab handle on the A-pillar on the driver side
@trevorbelmont4633 I'm sure it can be done but you'd probably want to remove the airbag (disconnecting negative battery terminal first) last thing you want is a grab handle flying off and hitting you followed by an airbag. I see you can get little push up handles the clip into the door frame to help you get in and out. But you'd have to take it off every time you want to close the door. Best of luck.
@@dayv mine doesnt have an airbag tag.. just a simple panel.. the passenger side has the grab handle tho..
Did you disconnect the power from air bags system or it is not needed?
i didnt as i knew what was behind there. if your going near the air bag it might be best to disconnect the battery so it doesnt go off in your face. check your radio code if you have one as youll need that to use your radio.
The trick is the reinstall action…
my 2000 beetle has a blown speaker in that window trim piece I need to replace
Should be easy. Plug and play. Should be able to get parts easy ebay etc...
Hey bro. What car is this for?
This was in a VW PASSAT B6 2006-2011
Most manufacturers are very similar. If in doubt disconnect your battery 🔋 😉
Can i replace the outside trim piece using this method?
Not sure how to remove the top screw from the inside
As in part of the outer body work? Not sure. I guess all cars are different, this is just for guidance.
Both of my trim pieces seem to be glued to the windshield. Any recommendations on what I should do to get it out? I don’t want to just pull it because it will rip the fabric. Haven’t seen anyone else with this issue
Never heard of trim being glued before so not sure how to tackle that one I'm afraid
Would the air bag go off if I remove the trim?
Probably not. But if in doubt disconnect the back negative terminal on your battery
PERFECT
How to put it back
Hahaha i have the dame question
$ Thanks $500 sent
Brilliant 👏 😁
How to open Audi Q5(2014) thus piller for cleaning Drain tube/pipe ?
No idea skmcx blue sorry.
did you have to disconnect battery first??
As I wasn't dealing with an electrical connections I didn't see the point in disconnecting the battery.
I would consider the airbag electrical
I did to be on the safe side, it only takes a minute anyway.
@@jessicah3450 you risk corrupting the FRM so make sure the car is completely asleep first.
Do I need to disconnect my battery first? Worried about setting off the airbag. Cheers!
I didnt but i guess disconncting the nagative for 30seconds or so wouldnt hurt.
@@dayv Has be to at least 15 minutes before you do the work I heard.
ur a beast

This pillar removal would not work on VW CC 2015 and up. There is no screw behind small airbag cap.
Did you find a solution on how to remove it. Having g same issue
Thank you so much ... I would add, don't try to listen to car radio, when you are working near airbag ;-)
Your welcome. Please subscribe
what year passat is this?
2006
on mine say air bag I'm scared to remove it in case it blows.
Mine says air bag to. It's just a plastic cover to inform you there is an air bag there
Disconnect the negative on the battery for about 15-20 minutes to disable the airbag system
Airbag sensors are on the body behind the panels. Like front and rear bumpers
@@jeremymoreside1444 thanks for clarifying, I saw a bunch of other videos where they were installing speakers on the panels near airbags but hadn't mentioned disconnecting the battery. Good to know the sensor is outside.
My *Airbag* clip isn't a clip and it broke off 😅
Ut ohh. I guess a new one is cheap
Thanks! Very helpful
Thankyou. Glad to be of assistance. 😀
