Passenger airbag cover
The passenger airbag cover on my 96 1.9 td has started to lift at the one corner.The car interior is very tidy for its age and whilst i could have a go at sticking it back with glue i wondered if this cover is replacable and if it is safe to do it.

Re: Passenger airbag cover
I think all our 406's have suffered from this; I used contact adhesive on mine, there was a thread a few months back on this.

Re: Passenger airbag cover
Nope, and the sun's much stronger here too. Only thing wrong with the D8's dash is the mobile phone platform screw holes (which I filled with black boot polish 
) Maybe it's 'cos they put your dashes on sdrawkcab 
I spotted another D8 estate the other weekend, it was parked up so I had a look - looked like its driver didn't give a dam 'cos the outside was a mass of dings and scrapes
, inside was perfect tho...

Actually, I'll be driving it tomorrow (about time I waxoyled the sills on the '9) so I'll take a pic.

<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

Re: Passenger airbag cover
Very common fault judging by the examples I've seen down the scrappers. I made a small improvement to mine via no more nails + brick but of course I don't actually want to stick it down around the extreme edges for fear it won't deploy.
Replacement airbag units are available from scrapyard/ebay/dealer and, allegedly, not overly difficult to fit.

Re: Passenger airbag cover
Ok as i said i would have a go at sticking it down with contact adhesive. used evo stick and a brick and it went down really well.
On the way back from my nightshift in oxford i noticed that most of it had come back up again. Going to bed now with one on me.
