I am stripping my interior to sound deaden and this is the last thing and it’s holding me up. The c pillar is almost off in the back, only holding on where it connects to b-pillar around hanger hook and it’s on tight. Maybe b pillar comes off first? What about the Air bag in b pillar? FSM is no help. Please help if you know.

 

Just rip out the B pillar the same way you took out the A and C pillar. It's held by the same plastic screws. Your battery should be disconnected when doing it, just in case. Are you sound deadening the roof? It won't really work well if you plan on wrapping the headliner with suede (I've already wrapped mine with suede, the sun roof/moon roof is the biggest pain to do and won't allow for sound deadening to fit beside it). Just wiggle the B pillar around and feel the points that are still connected.

 

Also forgot to add, in order to remove the C pillars you have to remove the deck lid. And for the B pillars remove the lower B pillar scuff trim.

 

Thanks! Do you have to take the seatbelt off? If so how do you remove the plastic piece in front of the bolt?

Goal is to sound deaden Entire car and wrap beige parts of interior.

 

I’m dumb. Got it now. Obv seatbelt has to go. Now it’s only being held by the coat hanger. Looks like a clip in there?

 

I just made a mistake, my apologies. You do not have to remove the rear deck lid. I just checked my pictures. The C pillars were a hassle to remove, especially at the very tip where it meets the glass. I would just recommend pushing out from behind slowly and feel if there is any tension where a clip might break. But if you want to remove the decklid to sound deaden underneath it then you have to remove the rear seats (can sound deaden underneath them too). I forgot how to remove the decklid, but I checked @Rochester 's thread when he removed his. I just can't find it. If I do I'll post it.

 

Got it out! Finally... what a pita. The rear lid like interlocks with the c pillar. Both are hard to get out.

So all I have left is a a pillars, which I’m trying to get out without removing door trim and the hoodliner and the car will be 100% gutted. Except I bolted back in the driver seat. Car sounds insane with bare metal everywhere.

I’m starting to get that “oh god what did I do” feeling, lol.

Any advice for wrapping interior? Are you worried about your airbags not deploying?

thank you so much for your help.

 

No problem man! Here is Rochester's thread I used: https://www.myg37.com/forums/body-in...lid-panel.html

Hope it helps. A pillars are pretty simple to remove, but require patience. I just removed it from the top side and it should easily pop out. Try to remove the door seal trim when taking it off, as it will be easier to remove the headliner and all the pillars.

I used special adhesive spray that is meant for the headliner. When you remove all the pillars, remove the old khaki fabric from it. There will be fabric residue fuzz left, but that is fine. I've seen airbags deploy and I don't think a small piece of fabric would cause it delays in penetration. They are really fast either way. If you want to make it more quiet with sound deadening you can remove the dashboard and put some of the material underneath where the engine bay and cabin meet. Would also recommend doing the trunk if you want to go all out. I removed all of my sound deadening from my trunk, since I've got a different objective for the car.

Is your G's interior stone or graphite?

 

Got the A pillars off. Interior is black with the ugly beige top. I want wrap my cracking dash too which can be done in the the car. Def not taking dash out.

I was thinking of doing a pebbled leather for the dash and all the beige bits. The pebbled leather should match the pebbled look of the doors and center console.

i was also thinking of silver/gray alcanterra for the beige parts but can’t do dash in that color. Not sure what I would do the dash in if I did that.

for deadening, I have 36sqft of dynamat, 100sqft of mlv and 100sqft of closed ccf. All the ingredients per SDS.

open for suggestions, my exterior is graphite btw.

 

I would suggest if you want to get a 100% job with the dash, remove the whole thing. It's not as hard as people make it sound to be. Steering wheel would have to be removed and disconnections of the center console and airbags would be done. Other than that it is not as difficult. The hardest bit is removing the 2 bolts underneath the dash's front vents. Removing it and then wrapping it would be a good way to ensure everything has been prepped and would stick. I've seen someone flocked their dashboard as well, which did not look as bad as I expected. The hardest part was painting the seat belt clips on the B pillar that are beige. 2 coats should do, but it can still peel from excessive amount of seat belt rubbing it, but not a huge deal.

Also, I am trying to get rid of and selling brand new steering wheel buttons (no oil, marks, or scuffs) that are meant for the graphite interior, with nav, and a set of 4 grab handles (they're paintable, painted mine by sanding it off with 400 and 2 coats) if you need any just let me know.

 

My buttons area looks good still, but thanks.

I am stuck with these grab handles and visors. Any advice?

 

Grab handles can be removed by unclipping the little square part with a flat head screw driver. Be careful with the clips though, if you mess them up or snap them it will be difficult to install them again. Sun visors can be removed by removing one of the plastic plates where it covers the base of one of the arms as well as unscrewing the clip where the sun visor clicks on.

 

I got the grab handle clip out and expected a screw underneath but there wasn’t. I was prying they crap out the visor and stopped b/ I thought I was going to break it.

I guess I gotta just pry harder on the visor. I noticed the visor has a notch on the back of the plate. Is that a clip or anything?

thanks again for all the help.

 

There's no screw. It's held on by these golden/bronze colored clips underneath. You need to push the two plastic clips that are part of the grab handles out of the metal clip which holds it onto the roof. Make sure you hold the grab handles down while doing it.

For the sun visors there's a plastic part that is on top of the base of the visor that connects it to the roof. Unclip it with a flathead or pry tool, and there should be two bolts underneath, which you unscrew to remove the visors. And that notch is where you should pry from.

 

I had the handles out and didn’t even know it, lol. I just yanked it they came down. Finally got that piece of the visor. Thanks for illustration. I was looking at them on eBay to see how the assembly worked when you sent that. That thing was in there TIGHT Broke the underpart a bit but that won’t show. I feel so much better now that I’ve got it figured out.

So I think I’m going to do the dash in just black leather and the beige parts in a silver/gray microfiber. I always liked the silver trim so I think playing off that will look good. All black is a little too much black.

I have been eyeing bits off of other nissans. Zs have black visors which even tho I’ll wrap them I’m will make the non-material pieces black.

the Z has very similar map light without the sunglasses piece but I haven’t seen one with sun roof. I’m curios what the wiring in map light looks like. Wonder if I could just wire any ol switch for sun roof and some random lights and make custom panel. If not, the FX35 is a dark gray and looks like it’ll work (assuming the harness is the same).

will replace seatbelt plastic bits from Z too most likely.
