A-pillar covers are not all the same.
Looks like they designed the a-pillar covers differently for ones with the a-pillar airbags. I went to the dealer and they ordered me the a-pillar for my car/interior color, unfortunately they neglected to identify that there were 2 versions. One that has a solid frame of plastic and another with a center frame of plastic and thicker material to support the fabric not supported by the frame.
Well the one I ordered was ~56 bucks, the one I need is ... wait for it...
~$160. OUCH.
Modified stock on top vs new from dealer...

yah I've been through that
the C5 is a real BITCH when it comes to pillar covers with airbags. See its not just the pillar cover it is actually part of the roof liner too all the way to the B pillar. Oh and there are many colors, several splits and at least two different designs <with/ w/out> curtains.
