Good job guys. I did it in easy way. Went to Autozone, purchased the can of glue, spray, and that is it. :)

Glued, no signs of the glue on the material :)

Thanks. :D

They're only about 50 bucks and should last another 8 to 10 years!
Yeah, right, where the f**k are you buying them for 50 bucks?
I have to ask the same question??? My C pillars cost $1200.00 and the A pillars $500 for the replacement parts at Volvo. So far the B pillars are holding with the tape fix. My A set are finally in so soon they will be new. $50 each sounds a lot better than $250 each! June
