My driver's side pillar is jacked but when I got the car it was out of basic warranty and the previous owner seemed oblivious. The pillars cost a fortune, though, over $200. I hate the cost of parts for this car.
yea i ripped my old one with my jeans by accident. button caught the pillar and drug across it. how far out of warranty are you? you might be able to get them to do it if you have a good relation with the dealer. even though the dealer does it for free, they still get paid for the job so it cant hurt to try.

i haven't replaced the b pillar because the shape doesn't match the door's arm rest.
that's my only gripe.
fortunately, my seat blocks the bpillar, so the belt buckle doesn't bang and scratch the pillar.

Fantastic, let me know!
(One on my passenger side has a clip that is broken or something, it keeps popping out of place no matter how many times I've tried to reseat it. One on the driver's side is just mangled and where the gouges are in it the plastic is all discolored and looks like a horses ****.)
