Assist Grip Removal
The Assist Grips are attached to the vehicle with a new style locking clip that allows for faster
removal and installation. Begin removal by compressing (downward) the locking tab of the cap
and then push up slightly on the bottom side of the cap.
Note: Do not push on the clips after the caps are removed or they will fall into the
area above the headliner. The clip must be retrieved to prevent NVH issues and
possible interference with Curtain Airbag Operation.
Compressing Locking Tab Pushing Up on Cap
Remove the caps and set aside in a safe place. Pull the Assist Grip straight away from the headliner
without changing the mounting angle of the clips.
Cap Removed Assist Grip Clips in Place
If the clips are pushed inward after Assist Grip removal, the clip will fall into the area above the
headliner. The clip must be retrieved to prevent NVH issues and possible interference with
Curtain Airbag operation.
The clips must be removed from the body to reinstall to the Assist Grip. Squeeze the clip near the
body. The locking tabs are on the outer side of the mounting area to prevent the clip from sliding
outward after installation of the Assist Grip.
Note: A hook tool secured into the lower side of the clip will prevent the clip from
falling into the body during removal.
