I recently bought a salvage '05 TL. The right side airbag in the seat is deployed and the curtain airbag also deployed. Just wondering if anyone knows what has to be replaced with the side airbag or do I need a new seat. Also, will I have to change the seat belt on the side where the airbag deployed? If any one knows how to replace the curtain airbag, please fill me in as well.

 

Humm, could I ask how much a "salvaged" TL goes for?

 

look up the thread "Putting the TL on a diet"

That guy stripped a TL bare of airbags and anything that didnt make car go fast

He can tell you what you need and may even sell it to you!

 

'05 with 16K miles I paid $8,000.

 

It too bad that the website http://www.acuraparts247.com/home.jsp doesnt work. The sold the airbags there... Extra costs apply for shipping. I think it was about 250 or so for the air bags. The headliner was 230ish and the side panel.... dunno know, but the pushpin that says side curtan airbag costs about 25 bux.

Odds are you have to get seat belts too... I think they have explosives in them too.

 

Inaccurate is the member to contact- he did the TL teardown with pics and weights of items removed knows his stuff

 

here is the listing for the side air bag curtains from ebay they start at $149.00 and no one has bid on them 3 days left
