Part: Accessory kit

The video shows how to replace the original matte pillars on the outside of the front doors with a glossy finish pillar kit.
To remove the original pillars, as seen in the video, pull back the window seal to access the cross-head screws, two per pillar. Once the screws are removed, gently dislodge the pillar cover. Be careful to retrieve and install the damping material onto the new piece, as suggested in the commentary, then proceed to fit the glossy finish kit.
