77215, passenger air bag cover?
Posted by MCubed45, Sep-22-04 06:40 PM
does the cover come off without removing the air bag? the edges of mine are all curled up and shit. idk if it's from the air bag being set off with a previous owner. anyways if i find a car with a nice one can i just pull it off and swap it with mine? or do i hafta remove the whole airbag assembly an crap?

We removed the passenger air bag in my roommate's 95 GSX race car. The cover is riveted to the air bag assembly on the bottom and hinged on the top. We had to use a dremel to remove the cover.

Yeah, mines is coming off a little, but its common with all the Eclipses. I have seen some so bad, that just the middle piece is holding on, and the sides are curled in. Just rip it off, and they have a website where they sell carbon fiber covers. I'll link it up when I find it.

DO NOT just rip it off! Disconnect the battery and then wait at least 15 minutes before removing the bag and pulling the cover off! I would hate to see anyone get hurt messing with those things!

agreed. Def. unhook the power and wait for the backup to go and then go ahead and fuck with it.

When I replaced my stocker steering wheel I did so.

I really am sure you did. I have just seen to many people take things literally and get hurt.

Aggression... Dude I was drooling over your sub/Amp enclosure! Your ride is sweet! Question for you. Do you know where I can get the fabric used for things like that? Or can it be any type? Also what kind of resin did you use? I have a little something that I want to do on my car and have two gallons of poly resin waiting. Drop a line and let me know? I'd appreciate it Lots!

speaker box carpet or the fabric used to make sweatshirts (fleece) works really well... fleece costs a bit more I believe but soaks up a lot more resin, but box carpet is a bit more cooperative when it comes to most situations. Resin, I dunno, ask aggression :)
