Thanks for the link. I am about to order here since my retailer wanted approx. 650 USD for only the part, plus 300 USD painting...
But how do I know which one is the yellow one? It's not written out on the page.

What would I do without you guys? :) Thanks.

One last question before I place the order - does it come with the necessary screws and mounting parts?

kenchan 08-18-2014 11:46 AM

humm, im pretty sure it will have the tabs pre-mounted on your a-pillar finisher side.
are you missing any hardware on the car side? if so, you'll want to source that too.

swe370z 08-18-2014 11:52 AM

Yeah I'm missing a big yellow piece that goes all the way from the hood, and then next to the windshield and at the side of the roof.. ;D

Jokes aside - if there's some tabs or screws missing, I think my local dealer kan provide them. This part is the crucial part right now :)

kenchan 08-18-2014 11:54 AM

yep, i think your local dealer can help you with that as well.

GL with the fix. hope you get that part real soon.

swe370z 08-18-2014 11:59 AM

I'm really grateful with all the help. Thank you.

Hi again,
I just finished mounting the part yesterday.

For those of you who don't know - these pillars have really poor mounting.
The pillar is only mounted with tabs (!) under the big painted part, and then mounted with only a few screws along one side (where the pillar meets the side window). It is in no way attached to the roof, at the "roofside" of the pillar.
I think a sidewind catched the pillar while driving and bended it up/to the side so much that it cracked and fell off. I will reinforce the mounting with some type of glue/silicone underneath, and with screws at the front and the back, so it doesn't happen again.

This cost me around 800$ total, for the part and paintjob. I did the mounting myself, took about 1 hour. But here's the result. It's all good now. All good :)

Looks good :tup: Glad everything worked out for you :tiphat:

kenchan 09-16-2014 09:33 AM

looks good, but did that pillar not match your paint color? :confused: or are you talking about the scratch that got on the rear quarter (was it?) for the paint job?

anyway, looks good. :tup:

swe370z 09-16-2014 10:15 AM

I wasn't able to order the prepainted pillar, they only shipped within US and I live in Sweden.
So i had to buy a grey one, which really doesn't matter now since they did one hell of a paintjob, you couldn't tell that it once had another color.

The scratch and dent that i got on the rear side, next to the tire - that was fixed by a guy with some serious PDR-skills. Really impressed by him and the technique!

How in the world did that fall off. Just saying that thing is secured on by 8-9 screws. It called the A pillar btw.
