Headliner: Testing and Inspection

Checking and Adjusting the Headliner/Pillar Trim Overlap

To prevent the side curtain airbag from accidentally deploying and damaged the pillar trim, the overlap between the headliner and pillar trim must be less then 15 mm. To check the overlap, do this:




1. Install the headliner (A) and the pillar trims (B).




2. Using masking tape on the headliner, mark the upper edge of each pillar trim,




3. Remove the pillar trims, and measure the headliner overlap.
- If the overlap is less than 15 mm, remove the tape, and install the pillar trims.
- If the overlap is 15 mm or more, go to step 4.




4. Carefully trim the headliner with a utility knife, reducing the overlap to less than 15 mm.
5. Remove the tape, and install the pillar trims.
