Those stupid pillars in between front and rear doors...

[Cobez]

Hey guys, not sure what they are called, but those plastic pillars on the outside of the VN / VP in between the front and rear doors on each side.....

How do you get those off?

[Wagon_Wheel]

With a hammer....
lol nah jk, i think there is some gay little plastic screws on them, ill have a quick look later and let you know

[Cobez]

I got a flat head around with one of those gay little screws, and it snapped off, so i don't wanna touch anymore until i know how to get em off properley.

[Cobez]

Anyone??????????

[Morton]

That's exactly what they do. Snap. As far as I know, the B-Pillar garnish is not a removable extra

I'm fairly certain they're one-way plastic rivets, not popclips.

[pow3rslave]

surely if you popped them off you would get some more, ricerbarn sell christmas tree style plastic studs, but i don't know if they're small enough or the right diameter

Dammit. I'm not touching the other ones then. LOL.

Nah these ones are tiny, barely the size of a fingernail. The "threads" seem to stuck right in, and the "heads" snap off. They aren't screws though.

[pow3rslave]

damn, i want mine off to redo them too. i might check if autobarn have those tree things in tiny, but you mean there's n o hollow left behind when you pop them off?

[greenfoam]

Well snap them off and then get some new ones

[Morton]

Yeah, just rip the lot off. At the end of the day, if you can't get anything the right size to rivet or cilp them back on, you can always get out the cordless drill, ram a couple of holes through the B-Pillar, and then use cable ties to zip the garnish back on.

Right?

[Cobez]

ROFL, minus the zip ties (LOL), and replace them with some screws, and you may have something there. I may examine the hole where the one i broke is and go from there.

[Morton]

That's a good idea

If all of that fails, you can probably whack some araldyte behind it, and sikaflex around the edges.

[Cobez]

True, i'm guessing there is outdented steel behind it that it slots onto.

[Morton]

Outdented steel.

OUTDENTED steel.

hahahahaha, outdented steel... oh wow.

[Cobez]

I'm lost for words today. I couldn't remember the proper name for Coca Cola, i called it that cola **** in the fridge.

[VN50SS]

Just break the rivets and and get new ones to replace when you want to refit.
GMH part number is 92138066 like a dollar each

[Cobez]

Those little tiny ones? Sweet as, cheers buddy!

[VN50SS]

Yes the little push in plugs rivets i guess. You can also buy the pillar covers if you need them too about 25 each they do models from VN to VS and maybe even later...

[WNTDVT]

Thank god for this thread, have been trying do the same thing but was unsure if replacements were available!

[Cobez]

Tried 5 Holden dealers in Melbourne out my way, all of them don't have any stock of these rivets.

[VN50SS]

Try 92138106 that should be the one there are too many rivets on the GMH. They should be available.. even cheaper. lol

[STEALTHY™]

Or try motor traders......

[wildss]

knock th ecentre out with something and replace easy.
the centres will fall inside the pillar so if you want to save them take the inner pillar trim off and catch them as they come out.
