Airbag/Dash Problem?? Help plz

You would need to remove the cover from the air bag unit, repair it then refit.
Its kind of like a lid for the airbag.

Dash out from memory.

I dont see why you wont tell us? The idea of this forum is to share knowledge with others? I have the same problem and would like to fix it, but if you wanna be like that about it, I find it rather selfish.

It's not that I don't want to tell how but as you can appreciate it's most likely not legal. As you can see it's as professional a job as you could expect. Certainly done by a professional who wouldn't give me an invoice..........enough info?

wow thats the worst case of the airbag cover lifting up ive ever seen lol
yea ive thought about buying a new airbag module, but $1500... FARK THAT!! haha

If anyone knows somewhere that sells the airbag modules cheaply or knows a good trimmer then please let me know as this is a pain in the ass and makes me and my car angry

Mate i can sell you a passenger airbag module, but that isn't going to fix your problem. The only real way to fix the passenger airbag from lifting up, is to take the dash out and unbolt the airbag cover (pretty sure, you can buy them brand new from holden) and replacing it with a new one. See below is from a statesman but you get the idea.

could you just heat it up and tape it down why doing so then it might mould back to the right shape

Yea already tryed that ages ago. It made it sit a bit lower, but it still sticks up too much

BT1355 - So you think i could just unbolt the dash and buy a new airbag cover from Holden?

 

[BT1-355]

Yes thats all it is, just take the dash out and replace the airbag cover. The way i see it, do it once and once ONLY. It will last another so many years before it pops out again
