Get it done at an upholstry place..

You can't really reglue it right.
a professional upholstry place will just glue new fabric on it.

They did that on my A pillar a while back for about $125...

A-pillar

Anyone have any idea what the part number for these A-pillar covers are? I got a ridiculous price from the dealer and was hoping to shop around on the web for a better price but haven't had any luck identifying them.

thanks

O.K I just fixed it myself and it cost nothing. I removed the A pillar, by getting my fingers in the top of the A pillar and pulling in towards the center of the car. I had some "liquid nails" its a glue in a tube , that I had in the garage, and it said it works on fabric. I put some on the edges of the A pillar and used my fingers to smoth-out the fabric. It drys clear, I poped on the A pillars and it looks good. Will see how it holds up in the calif. summer heat.
