How to Replace B Pillar Door Trim 2008-2016 Chrysler Town & Country or 2008-2020 Dodge Grand Caravan

[@bobbyisu06]

God bless you sir, not an easy piece but seeing you’re struggle unedited helped me a ton!

[@PirateStu]

That's why I show it. Thanks for the note.

[@lamoynehardenburger811]

Thank you so much for this. Some time after the door trim blew off our 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan, we stopped in at a dealership to get a replacement. It was December 2017, and cold in Kansas, so the part was set aside until a warmer time to install it. Here, nearly five years later, and with my husband not having done anything with it, I decided to see if I could find some help on Google. Everything, right down to the small piece of lumber and a hammer, was just what I needed to be successful!

[@PirateStu]

Glad I could help!

[@Michelle-kp5ri]

You have the patience of a saint 😂, mine started flapping today but it was only the tab pieces that unlatched. The screw was still intact to the black piece. My 9yo son decides to try and help and take it off while I start the car and i hear him on the passenger side say, mom i got it off. Welp now the whole thing is snapped off. He was so proud for taking it off. I said thanks for your help buddy you really did take it off lol 😮

[@BethWilliams-g1e]

Thank you for taking the time to show how it takes several tries to get the thing on, I picked up several good ideas, and am going to try to replace my pillar trim now

[@amandaoberbeck6270]

Oh my gosh this just happened to my T&C! Thank you for this video. I am now confident I can replace it myself!

[@imnotme1633]

I was having trouble installing, came in and watched this video and it solved the mystery of the torx (I thought it was just a position peg). I was able to go back out and complete it easily. Thanks for posting this!

[@dgfbd9746]

Really appreciate the video. Just replaced pillar for my dodge caravan under 10minutes. It would have taken a lot longer if I hadnt watched the video. That hammer technique worked like a charm too! Thanks again

[@mikejiskra7976]

Thanks very much, Very helpful. Headed to the junk yard and go get one, now that I know the process. Mike from Nebraska.

[@j9wheels801]

Mine flew off on the freeway and I felt terrible. Thanks for your video!!

[@abolishthe19thamendment]

Thanks for taking the time out of your day for this. I'm about to go give it a whirl for my paps van.

[@jlmoses16]

Thank you--I just did it and I can't imagine having done it without this video. I also found a second pair of hands came in very handy getting those two tabs in.

[@jeffmansfield914]

Thank you, sir. Good info. Nice touch showing some of the frustration, as well.

[@PirateStu]

You are welcome!

[@CourtneyBoone]

Thank you! Especially for naming the T20 Torque- helped me find the right tool. I did cheat and peel off some of the foam backing below the clip and went it luckily split. Thanks so much for this video!

[@Katie-dp3jl]

Thank you so much! I bought the part, but I could not figure out the torx bit problem. I googled it, this video was the first hit, and it was exactly what I need. Now I need to find something to hold that plastic in place...

[@Katie-dp3jl]

Got a new set of pliers and finally got the plastic and the torx screw out! But I need to get home and use my mallet to move the panel down.

[@Katie-dp3jl]

It’s perfect now!

[@CorysComedyChannel]

You have great patience Stu. I applaud you for not getting upset. I think that fix requires a lot of elbow grease. Ha Ha! Stu gets her done with a hammer and piece of wood. Hehee!

[@1orsonarcher]

Thank You very much. Great video...Very through..you really helped to eliminate trial and error for me 👍

[@charleenamaya6249]

Thank you so much for making this video. Our pillar blew off while we were on the highway, heard a loud bang/pop sound. We are having a hard time getting that little piece that breaks. We haven't been able to remove that torque/screw yet. But your video has given me some ideas to keep trying to get that little part off (It's down in the door, a bit hard to reach).

[@abizabiz123]

worked like a charm for a dodge grand caravan 2014! thank you!

What kind of car did Mickey Mouse drive? A Minnie Van! Ha Ha!

Great video, it helped me out a ton

It was very helpful for me. Thank you

Awesome, thank you for sharing ❤️👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@terryross4436]

Hope you feel as good as you look! Btw I’m impressed that not one 4 letter word was uttered unless that honk covered up a little something 😜

[@PirateStu]

It did!

[@CorysComedyChannel]

MR Fix it. Get er done! I hope all is well Stu!

[@vincentlawrence677]

I watched a few videos on this. One he had it in in like 30 secs. Another took him 2-3 minutes. Me, I was approaching 20 mins as those clips would just not catch. My recommendation is get someone to help. I got my neighbor. He applied pressure to the bottom clip, I applied pressure to the top and we slid it down. Took 20 secs with 2 people to get the clips seated.

[@MrMapersaud1]

Thanks for doing this...

[@ronw9901]

Just put one in my 16 dodge. I took the bottom section off of hard foam even with the bottom of the tab. It worked better and still has pressure for the tab to hold. It seems that the new ones have thicker foam padding to make it harder to install, it worked for me anyway.

[@PirateStu]

Thanks for sharing the additional info.

[@chedizl]

Dude that saved the day ! Cut that foam shit off and it slid right in

[@The_Real_Daniel]

Appreciate the knowledge thank you

[@SoulSpartan80]

Any tips on how to remove the plastic part that slides into the slot on the door? That part broke off from our old trim piece and is stuck in the slot. I need to remove that before I can insert the new pillar trim. Thank you so much for a fantastic video!

[@PirateStu]

Can you get a screw started into the plastic? Then you can just lift it out by the screw. Heat up a needle with a lighter, stick it into the plastic, let it cool, and then remove? A vacuum cleaner?

[@maureenlawrenz6018]

Where can I get the trim pieces? I have 2 missing pieces that blew off while driving.

[@PirateStu]

You can get them at this link amzn.to/31idiSp

[@maureenlawrenz6018]

@@PirateStu Thank you for the quick response! I'm realizing that I need the trim pieces for the sliding door. Those are really hard to find. Thank you!

[@rapongga28]

I bought from amazon just delivered now $34

[@ettamae05]

Thank You

[@josephkaminski6403]

worked great! thanks!

[@roadrunnerboy8463]

do you happen to know how to replace the chrome trim by the window?

[@PirateStu]

Sorry, I do not. If it ever needs replaced though, I'll be sure to video my attempt to repair it.

[@lallen968]

is this the same piece for the sliding door?

[@PirateStu]

I don't know, but I'd be surprised if it is.

[@eolanimose5355]

Sorry just lost my sliding door trim , did you happen to find a place that sells them ?

[@PirateStu]

@@eolanimose5355 oddly enough, I can't find them either.

[@osmeldelosangelesoliva8760]

That's sir

[@ninjapm46]

I've replaced three now

[@PirateStu]

My replacement is 2 years old and still going strong.

[@ninjapm46]

@@PirateStu I'm putting one on today. It better stay put lol

[@simpleme5719]

I'm gluing mine on 😅😅😅

[@BurtBowers]

Sure hope this legal sir i dont want to get into a major problem..

[@sly2392]

new vehicles are made so poorly now. plastic on the engine components, plastic all over the body, plastic all over the interior. they are made of plastics to keep the companies costs down. but when you need to replace these cheaply made parts that fail so early in the vehicles life, most parts prices are astronomical.

[@ronw9901]

Has to be easier way, cant see factory people fighting it

[@PirateStu]

They may keep a bigger hammer on hand to do the job.

[@springsy6210]

thank you.
