How to Finish the Sprinter Pillar-Headliner Transition
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video I show my favorite way to trim out the trouble spot above the B-pillar where the headliner ends. This only takes about an hour, costs around $100, and gives you a very professional-looking finish.

➳ WHO WE ARE
We're Lisa & Jeff Warnick. We've been representing Thrive Life freeze-dried foods for over 10 years. It's been a dream of ours to have a van to travel the country, supporting our team and sharing the Thrive love.
After we built our first van, we realized how much we love the creative process of designing and building vans...so now we're building and selling our own custom vans. We also do conversions on client-owned vans.

If you're converting your own van, we hope you find our channel helpful. We've spent hundreds of hours researching and testing the best materials and processes for our van builds. We've put together a list of the materials we (and others in our van community) have used and that we can recommend so that you don't have to spend all those hours on research.

A lot of people remove that foam piece but I remember reading that it's for safety. It's not meant to direct the side curtain airbags, but rather acts as a cushion in case your head bounces around in that area in a collision. Nice to have a solution that doesn't compromise safety features, thanks!
So happy to see this video. By the grace of God, I saved those foam pieces! Now to cover them. Thanks so much
We did this in our van but we used headliner material which has a little bit of stretch to it. One of my "car guy" coworkers gave me the idea. We used the same material on the underside of our shelf and the backside of our "bulkhead" partitions. We are very pleased with the results.
Very nice finished look!
Thanks so much. Getting ready to start that project, and you helped take a lot of the guesswork out of it.

Good luck!
Great video
Thanks for the video and part number for the foam. Do you know the part numbers for the B pillar wrap around trim pieces? Can’t find the numbers anywhere. Thanks!
How do you finish the back door pillars usually? The interior edge that goes all the way up and around and back down the rear of the van where the wires are run?
Great video!! Thank you for sharing. The MB part # in your post is for 2018 Sprinter. Do you know this part will fit 2021 Sprinter 2500?

Mercedes has changed the part number. Check with your dealer. They should be able to find the parts for you.
This is very helpful! What color is the fabric?

part # and description please
You didn't show how to remove and install the old and new pillar trim where the seatbelts go through

No need to remove the pillar trim. We just pop the top of the trim out, and pop it back in when finished.
Better to insulate above headliner than use those foam pieces tbh

You can do both.
