Hello Folks,

I have been reading the forum and it looks like the flaking/shearing on the Pillars of the TL are a problem. My TL has the same problem. Does it make more sense to replace the Pillars or just get them re-painted? I am taking the car in for bodywork anyway so if I think that getting the Pillars repainted is the way to go.

Thanks, Bill

 

The pillars are apparently very costly to replace. Someone on here had theirs painted and it was a flatter black as opposed to a glossy one, but it looked very good and cost next to nothing. I'm having this problem and need my pillars and trim replaced, but it is just too expensive to justify at this time.

 

I think new ones go for about $80/piece or so.

 

if your bringing it in for body work check to see how much they would charge to repaint them gloss black. Thats what i would do

 

theres a few thing u could do that other people did on this site. carbon fiber, chrome or paint. if u search, youll find all the threads and the DIYs in it.

 

when i took my car in to the dealer, i told them about it and they replaced it under warranty.
