    My VIN:    11596

    I fixed my B pillar trim on the rear driver door which had been slit by a Dreaded PO at least 25 years ago while attempting to replace the fir tree clips. Since the part is NLA, it never really bothered me until I was working on the door and ordered a new repro B pillar trim. Well that didn't work at all, it's fiberglass and extremely stiff. It's so stiff that the fir trees won't go completely into the door so it left a gap, and it was pulling outward on my upper door card so badly that it was making a gap on the rear edge of the door. I'll be returning it for sure. So I decided to do what I should have done the first time, and that's to try to repair what I already had.

    I found there's enough material where I would totally remove it and reposition it 1/2" further rearward and then re-glue it so the damage is no longer visible.

    Damaged upper door B pillar trim, you can see foam where the last person cut the vinyl away to get to the clips. Super stupid.

    Removed the vinyl with a heatgun and very careful use of a plastic pry tool. Replaced the three fir tree clips and secured the foam with Weldwood contact cement. Cleaned the vinyl really well with Griot's Leather Care.

    End result, it turned out perfect!

    USB socket to replace lighter. This is the thinnest I could find - it fits well and plugs into the original factory wiring.

    Finally awakened my D from hibernation last Sunday, filled up tank and have been driving to work all this week. Just over 250 miles so far.
    It desperately needs a bath. That is next on the list.

    Hey Shannon! I got mine out the same day and put the new driver's side escutcheon plate in. Drove to work once too on Monday!

    Great minds think alike! Hope all is well!
