Drivers side A pillar not seated correctly to body

[Droid82]

Has anyone had any problems with their drivers side A pillar not seated correctly to the body? Mine is sticking out causing the headliner to show. My dealer has replaced it and it didn't make a difference. I was trying to see if the bracket that holds in on that's bolted to the body is mounted wrong. They say it's not the headliner that's the problem.

I've noticed that the black bracket that it's mounted to is at a different angle than the passenger side. I'm wondering if they mixed up the brackets in the factory I'm not sure if it's possible but it might be that the driver side has a passenger side bracket

I had to have my headliner replaced. It’s a lot better but they didn’t order the moonroof door at the same time so now they are slightly different colors. Dealership is saying they cannot order a new door because it technically is working correctly.

Anyone else I this issue with the A pillar?

Yes, and there is a TSB for it. Requires the headliner to be replaced. I believe it has to do with the post recall airbags. They’re slightly larger so some trucks are going to be affected before they caught it.

I look at it every day, and it bothers me, but I don’t necessarily trust the dealership not to mess anything up completing the TSB.
