    Take the clip out of the B pillar and slide them over the plastic clips and pop them back in place.

    If the doesn't work you can drill a hole and use a screw were the upper B pillar meets the lower

    Have a technical question, don't send me a PM but post it on the board so others can benefit from it!

    I took Big "E"'s Advice I glued it near the bottom and for good measure I found all the clips had broken.... so I pull out the Gorilla Snot and ran a little all around the edges and on the seam where it connects to the top piece.... Wow used Duck tape to hold it over night and saved my self... some jack.... can't even tell... I think its ever stronger that the factory clips

    Heres the break down...

    OEM way..

    1) B Pillar 35-48 dollars on flea bay
    2) having to have it covered to match my current custom upholstery job $65.00

    Gorilla Snot way......

    1) Tube of Gorilla Snot $1.29
    2.) Duck tape... .99cents
