these part #'s are for a supercrew

here is a comparison pic



its really the same process for all the pillars , i just decided to take some pics while i did the last one which was the rear passenger side.

First, you need a long thin flat head screw driver, insert it underneath the trim at the bottom of the window, there is a clip the you have to undue about halfway inbetween the pillar



Once you undue the clip , lift up the lower trim piece , be careful not to bend it , it will not take its original shape. slowly pull up and it will come off




Now for the fun part , id recommend using something not to scratch the paint , but since its not seen it wasnt my biggest concern. take the screw driver and insert it at the bottom of the b pillar and start prying up. the pillar is held on by 2 clips and double sided tape



keep working your way up , u can use a razor to undue the double sided tape and when you get to the clip , i just gave her a good tug and it popped out



this is what it looks like with the pillar removed, you need to take off the double sided tape.



I wouldnt be too concerned about the old pillars , they pretty much garbage after your done prying at em lol



next take your trusty screw driver and you have to push the trim piece here towards the rear of the vehicle or front if your doing the front



its attached to the top of the trim so just let it hang there more or less



once that piece is lose , you have to peel the double sided tape on the new pillar , and clip it into place. then just reverse the process with the trim pieces

 

it looks awesome with tinted windows

 

nice write up it seems way easier then i thought it would be

it cleans up the truck rather nicely it makes it look hella better

 

Nice! So which part number is which? Passenger front, driver front, etc. I'm sure the regular cab rears are probably different.

 

Hum... I wonder how good this would look on a red truck with tint..

 

Thanks! mine are dented and ive been trying to find out how to remove them i was a little scared about breaking something. thanks again looks great!

 

MMMmmm, me likey!!! Looks great!!! I really need to do this mod.

 

did you paint them...or did they come color matched? I assume those parts wouldn't work on an 09?

 

Did they come gloss on some years? I got my 04 used and they are gloss.

 

yeah i think all 04s had gloss then the 05+ had flat, except for the Harley, Limited, and Mark LT

 

Looks so much better

 

Looks good... glad mine came factory

 

That looks sweet man, good thinkin

I'm gonna have to get around to this, sucks that summer is nearing an end that's my truck modding season!

 

Very sharp.

 

wow looks really good
