Checking and Adjusting the Headliner/Pillar Trim Overlap

To prevent t h e s i de curtain airbag from deploying and damaging t h e pillar trim, the overlap between the headliner and p i l l a r t r im must be less t h e n 8 m m (0.3 i n ).

To check t he o v e r l a p , d o t h i s: 1. Install t h e headliner (A) a n d t h e p i l l a r t r im (B).

3. Remove t h e p i l l a r t r i m , a n d measure t h e headliner overlap.

• If t h e o v e r l a p is less t h a n 8 m m (0.3 i n ) , r e m o v e t he tape, a n d install t h e pillar t r i m.

• I f t h e o v e r l a p is m o r e t h a n 8 m m (0.3 i n ) , g o t o step 4.

4. Carefully t r im t h e headliner w i t h a u t i l i t y knife, r e d u c i n g t h e o v e r l a p t o less t h a n 8 m m (0.3 in).
