How to remove pillar cover - Honda CRV

[@gosich]

That clip design was probably dictated by the need the airbag to be able to pop up the panel when inflating, but not to detach the panel completely (which could injure the driver or passenger). Only the clip which is near the airbag has that design, as you noticed; other two clips holding the panel tightly.

This was a huge help showing that clip. Thank you it worked great and save some damage.

[@SnotFroth]

showing that clip was key. honda recommends disconnecting the negative battery terminal and waiting at least 3 minutes before working around airbags

[@jims355]

Great video it helped me a lot. That strange clip is there to prevent the time from hitting you in the face if the airbag explodes.

Thanks for the help. I had a knock on the right side near the glass, I thought it was somewhere under this part. It turned out that it was under the hood where there is a plastic "grill", when I removed it, I saw that the wires were held there by double-sided tape, which had already come off and the sound was being transmitted to the cabin. I'm sorry if you don't understand, I just translated everything into a translator.

To avoid removing the pillar when installing a front dash cam, couldn't I run my thin dashcam wire along/beneath the drivers side weatherstripping edge and up to the very top of the pillar. Then push the wire barely under the pillar seam to the front window? That way it never crosses the air bag. It stays above it.

There is an airbag behind it. Do you need to disconnect the main battery first?

Thank you! You saved me from breaking that top retainer.

[@bhazbell]

Thanks, that allowed me to correctly remove and reinstall my pillar cover.

How difficult is it to put the rubber back on the side of the pillar and door opening?

[@KeithKropf]

Very easy, it just pushes back on. It has a metal u shaped center piece that runs the length of the rubber seal. If the seal doesn’t stay in place on the body, you can sometimes squeeze it with a pliers to grip a little tighter

Thank you! Very helpful. Saved me a lot of time and effort.

Looks just like my 2015. 2016 is the same generation as the 15 I understand
