It's hard to say exactly what that gunk is on that metal panel. Any signs of issues with the wiring?

As for the air bag, I have an easier time popping the bag on an Impala then a Monte (Imps have 2 points to release, the Monte has 3).

Airbag is off, wedged a wrench in between to pry it out.
It seems as I yanked it off a thin red wire came loose. I'm assuming this is the horn wire. Any idea were it goes?

Ok, everything installed, I changed the first post into a quick guide on how to remove the air bag.

I think it would be a good idea to sticky this thread

I'm just going to ignore whatever is all over the panel...whatever happened is said & done. As long as the car is driveable its all good

Great write up!

Sorry Mitch, the things I got from you are still in the packaging you sent them in.

Maybe frank can drive up here and do some labor.

Red,

It's definitely sticky worthy.


Frank, come here now!
I'll give it a shot soon. LED buttons and climate controls would sure look nice.
