Thanks for the quick reply. I have a seller that has one for an 02, but my car is an 04.
Is it correct to assume that the 03 and 04 are different from 97-02?

Thanks again

I'm sorry, I don't know for sure. I think the computer shows 02 only because that was the last year anything was listed. I can't imagine 03 and 04 being different.

I'll try to find out... perhaps in the meantime, another member can respond.

Sorry,

Mark

Found this... GM pictures

Looks like they're all the same.. (unless they're red in color)

HTH's,

Default A pillars

They are all the same external but internal in 02 they re did the plastic molding to make them stronger and not warp in the middle. I dont know if you noticed on older c5s the center of the pillar warps outward. The new design is reinforced underneith. See below.
