OEM B-pillar removal

NYBladeZ · 02-28-2011, 09:42 PM

I know Bullitt posted a DIY a long time ago about the Spawn pillars. I had to remove the B pillars to install the seibon a pillars. I broke two of the brackets on the back and had to scrap the pillars. Now I find a salvaged Z in brooklyn with intact B pillars. I was going to call them tomorrow and stop by to get the pillars. Anyone manage to get them off without breaking the brackets? Could you superglue them back on? I've been without b pillars for awhile and I could really care less but I need them now.

im trying to superglue mine back on right now. I'll let you know how it goes..... also, you could try some 3m double sided tape. If this whole superglue thing doesnt work, im trying that next. I dont want to pay nissan 100 for a piece of plastic. Plus, no one is going to notice anyways.

if u can wedge a small flat-head screwdriver behind it and pry the b-pillar loose it helps a lot. i snapped my first set too, i treat the new ones better than the rest of my car haha

glad I didn't go the replacement route with the b-pillars. carbon fiber di noc for the win. Also don't try to remove the hats of the center gauges as they will break too.

superglue works great by the way! Saved myself $100.
