Yep it does.

There is a threaded hole under it you need to hold the top of the RAI - the instructions will show that you have to remove the cover so you can drill a hole in the top and gain access to the threaded hole.


Did you download the instructions?



Top tip - get a rivnut gun - I tried a homemade job and didnt quiet do the trick with much heartache Rolling Eyes A happy childhood ... is the worst possible preparation for life.

I think the threaded hole you refer to has to be drilled and a rivnut added, it's not there as standard. 2020 BMW X1 18d XDrive X-Line Auto

Just replaced both pillar trims last week. You can just give it a good pull but pushing it firmly upwards and them pulling it reduces the chance of breaking the pins.
