Why do these trims always look so filthy? By the look of it they are also very difficult to clean and mine seem baggy from memory. Must have a closer look but it will only annoy me!  |

I think they get dirty if the car has been driven with the side window open, dirty air constantly hitting them. Also, where the front seat passengers have smoked cigarettes (often with the window open), the trims get dirty. |

Hey Guys, I replaced my B and C pillar linings today using the Woolies 285 cream fabric recommended by David. The match is almost perfect and makes a huge difference to the ambience of the car! I guess not many folks will do this job now but if you are going to do the C pillars on a car with the lounge pack fitted then be aware that you will have to remove/loosen the rear seats to access the 10mm bolts which locate the lower panel and airbag assembly. This is no small job Also, generaly, you may find the old foam difficult to remove from the old plastics. Soak them in Petrol for 10 minutes and the glue/foam will just peel off! Best regards, Frank |

They were incredibly helpful and sent me a sample in the post. It arrived this morning and I'm pleased to confirm that it is pretty much an exact match! Here it is held up to the C6 D pillar and headlining.   Regarding that panel in the lower pic, the one next to the rear 'screen, is that difficult to remove? I'm trying to source and fix a leak! Thanks. |

Ah, this is brilliant! I'm not worried about a bit of dirt on my tired old car, but the B-pillars are challenging me for 'who has gone the most bald' and it's easier to retrim those than my head. I wonder if I can make the seatbelt retract with a little more vigour at the same time. |

There is a thread on it: - Click Here - Basically Pull them all the way out, clip them in the open position and give them a good clean with something like 'Elbow Grease' (available almost anywhere in the UK, B&M sell the large size) which I found very good on old car interiors Bowl of water to give a good rinse afterwards. It's grease from hands etc. that builds up on the belts. |
