passenger airbag warped and coming out, how to fix

[RGdsmNewb]

Haven't driven the DSM in a long time... airbag/cover was originally coming out a bit, maybe from heat or something, but now it looks as if it's going to explode in the passengers face .

I have no idea what to do about this or how to go about fixing it... do i need a full new cover or airbag or what?

Would really appreciate if someone could give me some insight on what to do... makes the car look like crap.

I have the same problem I am interested to see how to fix it

Some have had a little luck taking it out and gluing the cover back in place. Most just buy a good one from the classifieds or junk yard and swap them out. The cover and airbag is one unit, they're only $30 or so.

thanks for the reply, do you know what type of glue i would want to use?

Ive seen people use gorilla glue on stuff like that but as someone else mentioned, I would find a good one from a part out

For mine that had edges sticking up I mixed up some JB Weld/Epoxy, slathered it under the raised end and then use vice grips to keep it together until cured.

Easiest thing would be to just swap it out with one from ebay or the classified. It is held in with two 10mm bolts and 2 phillips screws. remove the clips that only alow the glove box to come open so far and let the glove box hang to get easy access to these faseners. it plugs into the harness to the left of the glove box. Fallow the red wire loomed wires to this connector. It may be easier to remove the center console side access panel to get to the connector.
