Parts to replace after air bags deploy
So my side curtain air bags popped while running on the track. I got a quote from the dealer and trying to reduce the cost by purchasing the parts myself. I didn't hit anything so there was no damage to the car.
If anyone has insight as to what needs to be replaced I would appreciate the help. So far I have made a list of what I think needs to be replaced. I have a 2011 SS coupe. Black headliner 22768528 1 ea. Side curtain air bags 22781126 2 ea. D Seat belt w/ pretensioner 19257787 1 ea. P Seat belt w/ pretensioner 19257789 1 ea. Sensor side impact 13502341 2 ea. The airbag SDM can be reset to clear the codes so the parts can be reinstalled. So that doesn't need replacing. I'm not 100% sure the airbag side impact sensors need to be replaced. I'm not looking for comments about getting GM to pay for it. I have already gone this route and got no where. I resolved myself to the fact I have to pay for this. Just looking to cut costs by getting the parts online. Thanks

Why would you want to risk it happening again?

The point of my thread is to validate the parts needed to repair this car. I don't need advice on why or why not I shouldn't fix it. I already have a source for 3% above wholesale that I have bought parts through before. I just need to know I am getting the right parts and the ones needed.
Thanks

Your gonna have to take it to a shop and have a tech look at it and give you a quote with parts list. That way you'll know what your shopping for.

Tried that route. Got a quote from the dealer it was taken to for GM to inspect but they didn't want to share the detailed parts list. Other dealers I called wanted to examine the car first, but problem is you can't drive a car without seat belts. And I'm not towing it just to get a quote and risk not get a detailed parts list. Funny thing is the first dealer never examined my car, was just used as a location for the GM engineer to come to. Hoping someone here might know. I figure it's got to be pretty much a standard list of replacement parts for the most part. Like I said the car was not damaged.

I'd say buy the two bags and other expensive crap you know you need and let the shop buy the rest, at least let them make a little bit of money on parts. You run a risk no dealer will take the job if you supply your own parts, but there's no harm or warranty concern in letting a high end body shop perform the repairs. I am a tech though and I find it hilarious when people want to supply their own parts, we just jack their labor rates. |

Maybe you can post over on LS1Tech.com or another of the more Technical based forums for our cars. They're generally MUCH more useful for actual advice and help. I've found over the past couple of months that This forum is typically only useful for getting pointless/useless comments and 14 pages of advice on the best decal kits and plasti-dip techniques to use.

Turn the steering wheel so that the vehicle wheels are pointing straight ahead. 2. Place the ignition in the OFF position. 3. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery. 4. Wait 1 minute before working on system. REV: 10/2011 The Airbag Parts Replacement Recommendations chart is designed as an aid to damage appraisal, and an initial guide to vehicle-specific airbag system repair after a deployment. The chart covers production vehicles sold in the United States. Because of the many changes that are occurring in airbag systems, there may be some exceptions to the chart. This chart is NOT intended to replace the service manual. A service manual is REQUIRED when making any airbag system repairs. The only way to determine if an airbag system is working properly is to observe the airbag warning lamp on the instrument panel. When the key is switched ON, the airbag lamp should light for a few seconds. This is important because it indicates that the lamp is working. If after a few seconds the lamp goes out, the system is working properly. If the lamp stays lit, a problem exists. The “Replace” and “Inspect” columns list parts that must be replaced and inspected following an airbag deployment. The parts in the “Replace” column must be replaced regardless of their condition. If airbag parts in the “Inspect” column are found to be damaged or faulty, replacement with new parts is generally the only option. |
