Anybody?

 

Not an s60 but the same procedure. Its the same procedure on a 2008 nissan altima as well i had to install a double din with nav and run the gps wire up the a pillar in it so i know from experience. But thats the way to do it in the video below

 

Here is a video of removing the a pillar on an s40 I couldn't find anything on the S60 but it should be the same.

Edit also found a description of how to do it an S80 and it sounds the same as on the S60. From the sounds of it be careful not to break any clips if you plan on reusing the same pillar.

Good luck!

 

It hooks into the dash. There's a strange clip on the top, like a zip tie, so it comes loose then hangs. I was able to save it by pulling it loose and then twisting it apart, but it's been 3 years, sorry I can't remember more detail. I do rememer, to remove the trim you pry it loose at the top, work that weird clip, there's one regular snap clip in the center and then lift it up out of the dash. If I had pics I'd post them.

 

If you insert a large, flat blade screwdriver into the center slot of the clip it can easily be turned 90 degrees and be popped out without breaking.

 

This is my Bluetooth install. It shows removing the trim and the clip that can cause the problem.

I found this and it walked me through removal on my '04 S60 R

the main thing is rotating the top clip

 

So easy to do! Just did it today. Small retainer at top which helps it from flying around in an air bag deploy. Carefully pull toward hand brake about 2-3 inches to break the top clip loose and then the retainer is zip tie like and a 90 degree twist to separate the retainer. Then pull same direction a little more and then backward toward driver seat. Same in reverse for install.

 

Ironically I just pulled a couple plastic ones from the junkyard in anticipation of the fabric coming off of my R pillars, so I remember it all again.
