air bag removal

[GSX 95 eclipse]

The passenger air bag cover is peeling and i want o replace it. How do i take off the cover and put the new one on? or do i have to replace the whole air bag? If so where do i start? Do i have to start with pulling off the dash?

yeah, you have to remove the whole airbag. just remove the glove box and the bolts for the air bag are above it.

just a warning - disconnect the battery and wait 10-15 min for the battery in the airbag module to discharge or the baggy might go off on you.

Do i have to remove the dash to get to the air bag bolts?

nope, just the glove box

+1 on disconnecting the battery first. Airbag going off in the car wouldn't be good!

It's pretty simple bud. I would actually disconnect the battery an hr before you are going to work on it to be safe. You'll also need to remove either the center console or the passenger center panel to access the clip for the airbag. It's a yellow wire loom with a red connector.

Thank you i ended up getting it figured out it was simple after i droped the glove box and took a look.
