A-Pillar separation issue

Has anyone ran into issues with the A-Pillar separating from the dash? My car is 2 months old and road vibrations are making it worse. I went to the dealership today and they told me to come back another day to drop it off so they have it for a few days. I'm not wanting to leave my car there for more than an 10 minutes. Well if anyone has come across this and had a fix for this shoot me a PM i don't want to pull it off because clips will break. Thanks

Wow, i have not seen this but it seems like someone did a real shitty job of that seal and it might be causing other issues. Just leave it with them, they will fix it, its under warranty and if its a few days they should have to give you a loaner so why not.

Have you tried pushing it back down? I took mine off several times and IIRC they are just clips.

Circa, Are they the clips that wear off plastic over time? If so, I'd make sure that I request that replace the clips or the plastic being worn/scraped off with new so it doesn't cause issues over time (once out of warranty)

I looked around and found an old pic of my a-pillar speaker install....It turns out that they are more like a tabs that aligns with the female side on the dash. Im pretty sure these tabs have some sort of lip on them so they grab onto the dash. I would guess if you push them down they would click in. If not there is probably some sort of damage on the pillars or the dash. The only clips that are on these pillars are actually on the a-pillar, not that bottom part.


Here's an old picture.

ya the male clips at the bottom are smooth and do not have a lip on them i think that it why they are not fitting in. I contacted honda over and over and still waiting for a rep to come see it guess its going to take over a month, the service manager is giving me BS saying that that is normal on the cars. I am getting pissed, about to fix it myself. Anyone know of any strong bonding agent cause i am going to glue the fucker down.
