My car's A pillar is falling off
Hey guys, my car's passenger side A pillar cover that says SRS Airbag is falling off again. It was loose and had a gap, and it was fixed about 6 months ago. I didn't have any problems with it until last week when I had the rattle fix on the sunroof at the dealer. After I got the car back there was a small gap, but I didn't care about it too much. Since drivning the car for a week, the gap is pretty big now. I tried to push it back in, but doesn't seem to work.
Is there an easy way to push it in certain directions that it will snap back into position? If not I guess I will need to take it back to the dealer :/

It should be covered, simple 5-10 minute fix. There are two clips which hold this in. One of the clips most likely have failed and it would require replaceing.
I this this problem in my 07 and the problem did not show up until months later after I had my 07 in for dash rattle. In my case, apparently one of the clips had been crushed (inadverently as it needs to come off for dash rattle) so it was bascially broken. They replaced it under the warranty.

Nope, the dash does not need to come off.
What I was referring to, was when they needed to do the dash rattle repair, the SRS Airbag covers gets removed as part of the procedure to take off the dash; in which for my case how the clip for the was inadverently damaged.
