How do you remove airbags from a Honda?
The side curtain is rolled up and fastened to the A-pillar. I know how the Honda trim comes off and I think Toyota is the same- the little square piece that says ‘SRS’ or ‘air bag’ or whatever pops out, then you slide the pillar trim away from the dashboard. You need to pull the door seal away from it before removing it, also.
How can I safely remove a trim that has airbags labeled?
If it doesn’t pull away from the pillar after popping that little piece out, it has another little clip or two back there, similar to a door panel or any other interior trim. Just give it firm tug and it will come loose. Be careful…interior work on modern cars needs a bit of an acquired touch.
Is there a way to remove side curtain airbags?
There are multiple routes that I can take the wire. But the only camera installation that I’ve seen for a Sienna model has the camera wire routed through the side ceiling using the vents to fish the wire. As I was looking on my van, I noticed that the ceiling-to-dash trim has “Side Curtain Airbags” engraved on it.
Why is the little tab on my airbag so stubborn?
The little tab itself can be quite stubborn, and you need to be careful not to damage it, as it may serve a purpose related to the airbag- when the bag deploys, the pillar trim is knocked out of the way, and those clips sometimes help to retain it in a manner that directs it out of the way of the bag…rather than it being propelled into your head.
