I need to know how to take off the passenger pillar, the side panel that is right next to the door on the passenger side, and the panel where the fuses are. If your not sure about what I'm talking about just ask and I'll clearify lol.

The reason is because I'm hardwiring a passport radar detector.

 

not sure about all the rest but as for the panel where the fuses r. Just pull on it. Put your fingers behind it on the edges and u will feel where the tabs r and just pull there.

 

should be a screw up top of the pillar then it should pop off as well. it has clips holding it in like the fuse panel but like i said should have one screw up at the top of it

 

Almost every panel just pops off.

Now for the A pillars there is a plastic cap with a screw behind it. Take that bad boy out and the pillars come off.

 

Alright kewl, now is it easily possible that the tabs that pop out will snap?

Last part is the side panel (which is probably gunna be a bitch lol.)

 

if your careful they shouldnt break i had all mine out before and no problems.

 

anybody know how to take off the panel that would line up w/ the driver side quarter panel? Its the "armrest" for the seat behind the driver I have a dent in that panel and want to push it out.

 

Pillar is a bitch to get off haha.

With the pillar is there a technique to getting it off after the bolt is out? Or just pull like crazy?

 

pull everything like crazy the a pillars have screws however. not sure about the b pillars though

 

YOU'LL HAVE TO PULL THE REAR SEATS OUT.THE SEAT BOTTOM JUST POPS OUT.YOU WILL HAVE TO PULL THE SEAT BELTS AS WELL AND I BELEAVE THE ROKER (SILL MOULDINGS ALONG WHERE THE CARPET MEETS THE DOOR. AS LONG AS THE 1 ALONG THE ROOF LINE OF THE DOOR OPENING.AND YOU'LL NEED TO PULL THE WEATHERSTRIP OF THE EDGE ALONG THE DOOR OPENING....LOTS OF WORK

 

where is the screw, I took the one out, I decided to use the driver pillar because of distance of the wire

 

PUT YOUR FINGERS IN AROUND THE TOP WHERE YOU TOOK THE BOLT OUT.CAREFULLY START PULLING TOWARDS THE OPPISITE SIDE.IF YOU PULL TO HARD OR RIP AT IT YOU WILL PUT WHITE STRESS MARKS IN THE PLASTIC AND WILL LOOK LIKE ****.THERE ARE TO CLIPS AND A PEG THT HOLD IT IN PLACE AFTER THE SCREW COMES OUT. TAKE YOUR TIME AND IT WILL COME OUT FINE

YOUR AN IDIOT , DONT GIVE ADVICE !

THERE IS ONLY THE ONE AT THE TOP UNDER THE CAP THAT FLIPS UP

 

Yea, I started to see I stress mark so I stopped and came on here, I have the top clip out but the bottom one is being a bitch and a half!

 

if you can get a small screw driver and pry the clips out that helps too.

 

Haha, i finally got it, that was truely a pain in the ass. Now lets just hope the rest goes a lot smoother lol.

Also where is the battery cause I have to unplug it so I don't blow anything and shock myself lol

 

WORK YOUR HANDS CLOSER DOWN THE EDGES TOWARDS THE BOTTOM CLIP THAT IS STILL STUCK IN THE PILLAR.WITH YOU MOVING YOUR HANDS DOWN THE PILLAR THE PRESSURE ON BOTH SIDES SHOULD JUST POP IT OUT FREELY

 

battery is in the trunk next to the spare tire.

 

awsome sig.....but why are you talkign about the battery?

 

tHank you. yea dont go telling anyone to just go pulling like crazy then they end up breaking something. and you wonder why no one likes you!
side note im not sure if it was said or not, the screw is up towards the top where the airbag cap is. undo do that and do what everyone else is saying. just run your fingers down along it till you feel closer to a clip so you can pull from right there so not to break anything.

alright i saw you got the pillar off lol congrats

 

tHank you. yea dont go telling anyone to just go pulling like crazy then they end up breaking something. and you wonder why no one likes you!




that was great red...****** great !

 

For the hardwiring of the radar detector, I have to tap into another wire to set it up.

 

yea seriously, he gets others banned that are knowledgable and yet hes the one giving retarded advice!
dont listen to this guy OP just take your time and it should turn out good and listen to others who know whats goin on and are actually trying to help you

what for wire is it? i dont know the wiring instructions for radar detectors please refresh me lol

 

So the panel job is done, thx for all the help! Now I gotta figure which wire to tap into, disconnect the battery, then should be a breeze from there on lol.

 

maybe this will help?

I'm using the passport wiring kit for my 8500. The one end goes to the radar and the other is split- one taps into another wire for power and the other is a ground wire.
