this is a diy for your a pillar attachment clip. this was originally posted elsewhere on the net, by alligator diesel performance. i placed it here for the help of any individual having this same issue.
Have you ever pulled off the A Pillar and the brass colored clip fell off? This usually means that it won't be re-installed again due to the plastic the holds it has been wore out. When this happens, you normally have to go down to the GM dealer and buy a new pillar or a bag of new clips. Well, i decided to fix the problem once and for all. It only takes about 5 minutes from start to finish and cost's about $.10, so I have coined it the "Ten Cent Clip Fix". I have used this on about 30 occasions and haven't had one fail yet.
Tools needed, a drill, a 1/4" Drill bit, two 8" long Zip Ties for strength and a new clip might be handy, but not necessary if it is in good working condition (I have included a new one in the photo).(see pic one)
To start, place the clip over the plastic mount and drill behind it with the 1/4" bit (see pic 2)
Once you have both holes drilled push the Zip Tie's through the openings and then wrap them through the inside of the clip. (see pic 3&4)
And finally the finished product and a savings of around $30 for a new pillar
(see pic 5)
