Basically because i was impatient and didn't look hard enough. What you should be doing is putting a long handle slotted pry tool all the way under the b pillar and popping out the retaining pins (iirc they are white plastic) You're not actually supposed to apply any stress on the b pillar finisher when removing it. Assuming after breaking a single b pillar we both learn our lesson. There shouldn't be any issue with removing the oem b pillar in the future. You might grease the white pins for even easier removal when you reinstall them. TLDR: the oem b pillar doesnt' need to be sturdy if you remove it properly. |
Yeah I didn't break either, but point taken. One broke on its own, the other was broken by a windshield repair guy.

Just thinking, if the broken OEM B-pillar finisher can be "fixed", I mean... pieces removed,
glued back together and surface sanded flat, I'd think using an adhesive such as SealAll to attach back to the car is possible. Forget about the clips etc. Then ,use a carbon overlay to finish the surface. As mentioned, ZCF sells great ones on Ebay for $95 a set. I have them. Put e'm on 3 years ago. Look like new. Of course, I cannot see the car's B-pillar damage. But, if they can be repaired, sure is the cheapest way to go and gives the car a update look too. |
G2 B pillar finishers showed up after a couple months.

G2 Carbon got back to my inquiry in a couple of days and told me this:
"$350 plus shipping and about 2-4 weeks" I'm thinking this is my best bet, unless I want to go with crappy stock ones that will probably break again - I'm planning on keeping this car for many more years. |
Best solution when reinstalling B pillars is to use 3M double side tape. First i broke the clips, then tried to glue some similar clip to it. Succeeded and then the clips wasn't fitting perfectly, (I should of left it at that but instead) I tried forcing it and broke the damn b pillar. At the end of the day I used 3M tape and it's holding fine. Before that i used regular tape and held like a champ when i did 210kph. So I'm sure this will work.
