Re: HELP With Broken EG Civic A pillar
If it's just a break, a clean break in one place, I would just press the ends back together and leave it be. Perhaps a bit of cement on the ends to hold it together, but that's up to you. Once the window is in place, the A piller won't move, and it will be ok.

I broke the pillar on my Civic Si-R II as well. A clean break fixed with some super glue and thinned putty. No need to get a replacement part; it's a quick fix.

Re: HELP With Broken EG Civic A pillar
Super glue isn't strong against the bending force, so I'd suggest welding the broken part with styrene glue. Just use styrene glue to melt the plastic, and put the parts together. Then, wait for a few days, and carefully clean the excess molten plastic with a metal file and sand paper. You can reinforce the pillar by coating the area with super glue from the inside. That should take care of it.
