After a thinking on it a few minutes, I decided that the center plastic stud on the new pillar was useless, because with the bolts in place you obviously don't need it for stability or alignment. Didn't feel comfortable removing the airbag clip, so I trimmed the plastic stud down a bit and she fit like a glove. I echo the thoughts of many, so simple why is this not standard equipment?!?!
So I ordered the shale handle, but the tab in the center of mine where the air bag clip goes looks completely different. Anyone else have this issue? Ordered part number 23135700, but don't see that number on the handle anywhere so wanted to be sure i was sent the correct part.
