^ I jsut do it every other time i wash the car, i know its temporary, but the replacement you would buy will most likely fail as well

 

That was my problem with buying new ones (along with the cost) but I can see them lasting 3-5 years before any issues re-develop.

It's unlikely I'll still have the car then, but even if I do, buying new ones in 2015 is not the end of the world. At that point though, this car will probably have so many miles and wear and tear, I won't care anymore.

Right now though, the car really is in mint condition, and it was the one thing that made it look old and dated.

 

Yes!! I replace mines they pop right off. You can use a tool called panel popper or a flat head screw driver just pry it away from the cars body and you will be fine...

 

So the b pillar pieces are easy to remove if you know what you're doing. I found two in good condition at my local pick and pull yards. I've replaced both of mine without breaking the clips or the clip retainers. Patience is key! I can take pictures and provide a write up if still necessary.

 

Here's my write up, if anyone is interested

My pillars are cracking and breaking from hot sun damage, so bought a whole kit online for about $35. The one challenge I have is that one of the pillars has lost 80% of the plastic, but the 20% that remains is glued tightly to the pillar. I've been attacking it with a putty knife, but it s slow go. I am concerned about adding the cover to an uneven surface, so I want to remove it all, if I can.
