Hey everyone,

I have an 2009 tC which I bought new back in October 2008. I noticed a few weeks ago that my c-pillars/airbag panel are sagging out of position (pictures below). It's really annoying to see them in my rear view mirror.

I don't really wanna take it to the dealer and deal with their nonsense. I was wondering if anyone can help me put the panel back into place.

Thanks!

When the "C" pillar is pulled off the retention grommet holding the panel in place breaks and needs to replaced. I recently pulled both sides and had to break the grommet to remove the panels completely. The panels are design to stay attached when/if the airbags deploy. How you go about fixing this is up to you, I used a small amount of clear RTV on the seam and held it in place with a book and yardstick. Next day perfect....It drove me crazy looking in the rearview mirror and seeing it loose.
