Has anyone replace airbags in their car before?

>slid on ice, tapped railing
>bent bumper and broke headlight, but no actual damage to the car was done

I can get both used airbags and a sensor for 100$

Its one of those deals where the car isnt worth that much on the market, but you know the car was meticulously cared for so it would cost a decent amount of money for another car of the same caliber.

Ill probably drive it without airbags if it comes down to it.

Has anyone else actually done the repair?

Its a 1995 corolla, their labor alone would cost double what the car is actually worth.

I wouldn't do it unless you REALLY know what the fuck you're doing.

I would drive without airbags if its just an around town shitboxes then. Just think that until the 90s, noone used airbags.

Does your state inspect for air bags? Mine doesn't. Many others will either allow you to have malfunctioning air bags or at least a completely disable or removed system. Early air bags are more dangerous than they are safe so no loss if it's an early 90s junk box. Just be sure if you have the seat belts sewn to tear a bit that you cut the extra sewing out.

My state doesnt actually inspect the cars at all, not even when you register it.

Yes. You disconnect the battery and replace the airbags. It's generally not that difficult.

He means used as in, pre-installed but never deployed, you idiot. Not used as in 'been in an accident'.

>Unplug the airbag
>Plug in the new one
It's that easy.

I know a guy that rebuilds airbags.
He gets the explosives from junkyard airbags and repacks deployed ones.
True story.

That's literally what it's designed to do.
