I need to replace my Finisher Front Pillar on the driver side. This is the part right between the Door and the Roof. I bought a new one and would like some instructions on how to install it.

Thanks,

 

i think its just held on tightly with some plastic clips, and it just pops right off

 

3 clips hold it on...

 

Thanks.. I replaced it over the weekend. The pillar is also held on by 4 or 5 screws. Do not try to force it out. You will break it. Once these screws are removed, then it comes right off.

 

i have to do this exact job, anyone have more details on it? where can i source this part? do i just need to buy it brand new? i hear from the dealership itll be about $400-500 for one side and you need to provide a vin, and it comes painted. ppl have recommended CF but i think id rather go w/ painted ones. also, where exactly are the clips and screws located? are they hard to get at?

 

dont go to the stealership

 

Here's the link of for courtesy nissan. They have good prices. You can get one for around $283. Its a nissan dealership in Texas. They will ship you any parts you want for a really good price. I got mines locally. Some guy who worked for nissan got it for me for $200. http://www.courtesyparts.com/350z-z3...tml/index.html

Also, just stick your finers between the cracks and once the clips pops off remove the weather stripping. The screws should be right under it.
