I did have to pry out the screw covers, and from there I just peeled the fabric off. It tore a little around one of the screws but there wasn't enough material left to interfere with the cover when I replaced it. Looks much better to me than cloth-covered pillars with flappy ends.

^^ Very cool, looks pretty good!
thats what i did to my pass side B-Pillar...
Ha. Nice job. My pillars were white underneath.
Started working on my sunroof last weekend but I didn't have time to finish. The shade fell off track so I took it apart and found a few pieces broken. I also found that the sunroof driver was bent a little upwards so it would glide over the sliding pieces on the shade that pushes it forward and backward, so I bought some thin pieces of aluminum from the hardware store and used epoxy to affix it to the sliding pieces to make them thicker and easier to be caught by the driver. Will see if it works when I put everything together this weekend.

This stuff is complete shit.. DO NOT USE. The bond didn't hold for shit. I bought some good epoxy from Lowe's after this stuff failed me.

You can't really see it, but this pic shows how the driver would just pass right over that sliding piece:

Added it to both of them just to be safe:

I got them plus some other stuff and shipping was about $12.
Alobi, you got it easy. I took my sunroof out, and the metal things from your first picture were twisted like cinnamon rolls. Therefore making for a whole useless sunshade. Been rocking the car without one and it's annoying since I like(d) to keep it closed most of the time. Just don't want to drop $100 for a new one just yet...
Damn. I can imagine mine would have looked like that if I kept trying to use it. Are the bent beyond home repair? If you can get them somewhat straight again with a pliers or something... The only thing they do is keep the shade in its track.Quote:

And I'll win, though how much above the actual damage might get awarded, I have no idea. What a clusterfuck.
