"A" Post interior falling apart!?!?!
#1
![Default](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
like the title says, has anyone seen this before? I'm assuming the SoCal heat damaged the adhesive that secures the interior lining. What is the best plan for repairing this? I'm planning on doing it myself, but any suggestions as far as adhesive or glue to use? also, any special considerations for removing the post panel covers? Thanks in advance

Easy fix - pop off the SRS/Airbag label, it covers a torx screw. Remove that screw and pop the pillar out from the top and then pull back at about a 45 degree angle from the dash. Some carefully applied spray glue and problem solved. When re-installing the a-pillar cover make sure you push the bottom firmly into the dash before snapping the rest back on or you'll encounter fitment issues.

Same problem here. However, I found a great product at Home Depot that worked really well. It is not messy and sticks and holds instantly.
It is "DAP Contack STIK" It is in small sheets to be cut and applied, Acid free, non toxic, weather proof and water proof.
Time to repair and re-install, about 15 minutes

Go to NAPA or maybe a auto parts store has it too. 3M high strength spray adhesive is best, but just the 3M adhesive will also work. You have to spray both surfaces and let tac up a bit then bring them together. If you can pull it back enough to get a good spray inside this should also work, otherwise, it might be possible to remove the material and then spray each surface and then bring the material back tp the substrate.

I thought I was the only person with his problem. I was trying to search on here and see if anyone else had this issue till I saw this thread. Would be great if someone posted a DIY for this.
