Archived from groups: alt>autos>mitsubishi (more info?)

I have a 95 Eclipse with dual airbags, and I was wondering if anybody
else
has the problem of the tops curling up and out towards the passenger.
Could
it be the heat in the summer? What's best to use to glue it back down?
I've tried super glue jel & some other useless goop but no luck. Should
I go with something thicker like silicon?

Perhaps working on automobiles is outside of your skill set. I would not
reccomend the further use of adhesives on your SRS components.
You make no mention of where you are living but maybe the sun is damaging
the vinyl. These parts are available through junk yards, www.dsmtrader.com
or on ebay.
Have a competent mechanic, who is familliar with the car examine the airbag.

Tried epoxy, didn't work either...is this something the dealer can
replace & maybe insurance will cover this being that the airbag
compartment is an important safety feature. Don't want the air bag
coming out unexpectedly.

Just asked the dealer & they say you have to get the entire air bag
assembly which is $700 - $800...wtf??? There's gotta be a way to fix
this myself.

Yep.... look at junkyards, ebay and www.dsmtrader.com
Politely I restate, this is something you should leave to a qualified
mechanic.
