 Passenger Airbag cover - open?
Ciao ragazzi,
I have recently bought a 2002 Mini Cooper from a dealer here in italy. With my limited knowledge of cars I had checked the car to see if it had been in an accident (checking engine bay/underneath/under carpets in the boot etc)..
I had no complaints as the car drives & looks great. However, upon getting the car home I found the passenger airbag cover was open..I have to admit I thought myself it was a glove box until I saw the airbag inside.
I can see that the plastic seals have broke away (cleanly) all around the edge.
Has anyone else any experience with this, I know it's not normal, but is it a definate sign of a crash/malfunction or possibly a heavy handed user?
Is it expensive to get the cover repaired/replaced?
Hope you guys n' gals can help as I'm somewhat of a mechanical muppet when it comes to this kind of thing.
Grazie a tutti
