Fix those broken B pillar finishers right! 3D printable replacement brackets

Tractionless

Getting ready to do the same. Can you advise on how NOT to break them since you're had them off once. Thanks

You have two options.

1. Use a pry tool to dislodge the top pawl. Then use a pry tool to dislodge the middle clip. Most likely you will break off the clip brackets (very flimsy). Now all you have to do is slide the B pillar down to remove it from the car. This method allows you to reattach the B pillar to the car by using the top pawl and the bottom clip. I don't think the middle clip is important. No 3D printing required!

2. Use a pry tool to dislodge the top pawl. Then use a pry tool to dislodge the middle and and bottom clip. You most likely will break off the clip brackets. This method requires you to 3D print 4 new clip brackets (for both B pillars) and purchase 4 new clips. You will most likely destroy the original clips trying to remove it from the housing.

If I had to do it again, I would have gone with option 1.

If you were to buy 4 new clips, they are like $12 each from Nissan or generic clips are like $20 for a batch of 25.
