So I have the dreaded sunroof leak and I'm in the process of removing the carpet to dry everything out. I have the front and back seat loose and the rear back panel loose as well to get the carpet lifted up. The battery is disconnected but I do need to hook it back up an put the car back in the garage. (rain in the forecast). I just want to make sure having the trim panels loose wont set off the airbag. Does anyone know for sure? Thanks!

 

no, airbags will not deploy. airbags only deploy when the impact sensors sense a collision, typically calibrated by manufacturer for 25mph but then again it all depends on sensitivity of impact sensor that has been struck at the moment of impact.

 

Thanks! I kinda figured as such but just wanted to make sure. I'm used to working on classics, no electronic goodies whatsoever.
