Air bag cover cracked

Dashing328i · 10-14-2018, 08:08 PM

I guess I have used my horn too much. My air back cover has a crack in it. Am I able to replace the cover or do I need an entire new air bag assembly?

Need a whole new airbag. The cover is integrated into the module.

Damn. Ok. Thanks man.

Dashing328i · 10-14-2018, 08:48 PM

Are there any creative ways to repair/cover it?

You can get just the cover and pull it off the airbag, takes a little work but since your no trying to save it you can cut the badges and pops right off and slide the new one on and it will clip right in. Did it on my E70 no issue. Do at your own risk you are messing with an airbag.

Have you checked for a recall? Dealer replaces cover and airbag.

I haven’t checked for a recal but I could head over to the dealership.

Keep in mind whatever gets put over the airbag gets smashed into your face in an accident
