Default B- Pillar replacement pics?

Does anyone have pics of B-Pillar replacement? I just bought a CPO 07 460L with extended 6yr./125K warranty. Will they replace mine? Thanks..

Mine were replaced under warranty. Acutally, I believe its a recall item. Just ask your service advisor, they should replace it.

there is a tsib on it. They will replace with no issues as long as there is factory warranty left. I had mine done a few weeks ago and it came out very nicely.

Yes. Just show the dealer the wear and tear on the pillar and ask to have it replaced under warranty. If they balk, show them the TSB.

When I bought my car, the drivers side was horribly warped and deformed. When i got the car back home to VA, I immediately had it replaced. My passenger side is being done as I type, pick up the car Monday.

I am very pleased with the way mine came out. The fit is just as tight as before
