Default Replacing A Pillar
Hello everyone,

I have a small burn mark on the driver's side A Pillar interior.. it is the gray suede material. How would I go about replacing this myself? I ordered the part from Lexus and I was wondering if it is easy to install... I couldn't find any diy on it.

Is that your pic?? Sorry for being off topic but you're beautiful Anyways, yes just order the part from Lexus or you can check on ebay first, it just snaps on and off. If you start off at the top just give it a tug and it'll come off.

Aww thanks!

So it's connected by a clip?

How about putting it on... is there any risk of damaging other things? I am pretty clumsy.. haha, thanks for the response.

when putting it back in make sure you place it in the correct positions and give it a hard push and it should snap back in

LMAO iSuxel. haha totally cracking up.

Yes you being in CA I am sure you can find about 50 CL members to come and not only help you install it, and probably buy you some dinner too.
