If you notice any small punctures, tears, or damage, you can easily restore your airbag with just a few simple steps using the included repair kit. Follow these instructions to get your airbag back in action quickly.
Begin by thoroughly inspecting the airbag to locate any punctures, tears, or worn areas. Identifying damage early is essential to prevent further deterioration and maintain optimal performance.
After locating the damaged spot, clean the area thoroughly. Begin by wiping away any dirt or dust with a damp cloth. Follow with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol on a clean cloth to remove any oils or residue, ensuring a secure patch bond. Allow the area to dry completely before proceeding.
Using the repair kit provided, cut a patch that fully covers the damaged area, allowing for an extra 1 to 2 inches of overlap around the puncture or tear.
For added durability, round the corners of the patch to reduce the chance of peeling over time. If the patch is curled, place it under a heavy object, like a book, to flatten it before application. This ensures a more secure, lasting repair.
Using the adhesive from your repair kit, apply a thin, even layer to both the patch and the damaged area on the airbag. Allow the adhesive to sit for one to two minutes until it becomes tacky.
Carefully position the patch over the damage, pressing down firmly to create a strong bond. Smooth out any air bubbles by starting at the center and moving outward to ensure a secure and even application.
