How to return the A-pillar to OEM condition on a 2011-2019 Ford Police Interceptor Utility. The same steps apply for replacing the A-pillar panels on a standard Ford Explorer as well.

While filming I discovered that the newer 2018 outer pillar trim cover I was using was not 100% compatible with the mounting plate underneath that came on the 2013. If you are using a used pillar I would recommend also pulling the mounting plate as well. Otherwise I recommend just buying a new set online. OEM will be best but this aftermarket Dorman should work fine as well.
