will a 1996 passenger airbag fit a 97+ dash? is the wood trim removable? they look almost the same. my dash has a one piece wood trim the older years airbag comes out with the wood trim

 

So the car is a 96 and you want to put in a 97 dash, or you have a 97 and you bought a 96 airbag...?

 

Have to use a 97+ bag. I have a 94 sc with 98 dash and bag. Albeit haven't wired the bag in yet but one day i will

 

I have a 97 dash but its missing a passenger airbag. I was wondering if i can put a 96 airbag in it, found one for $50 looks almost the same. I know the older ones have the wood trim on it. But if its removable it looks like it will fit. Anybody done it before?

 

Car is a 93 i dont really care much about hooking up the bag just want to have the bag in. So i dont have a big hole in my dash

 

The 97+dash must have 97+ trim and passenger airbag. Pre 97 doesn't work at all with it. I just converted my 95 dash to 97+, and the wood trim and airbag from the 95 wouldn't fit at all. The vents fit though, but with some modification.

 

Nope wont fit...I just took the bag cover off and put it there to fill the whole. until i wire the bag up!

Food7373 did you wire the pass bag in?

 

I actually haven't received it yet. Hurricane Sandy messed up shipping here in the NE, so it will be here tomorrow. I will see if I can wire it in, and get back to you tomorrow.

 

Oh ok. Thanks for the help guys i appreciate it. Almost bought the bag too it was only $50 lol

 

Well I got my airbag, and the actual airbag won't fit unless you cut a metal tab in the dash, and the connectors are different. You will need to splice the wires to make that work, and somehow create a new metal tab so when the airbag is deployed it won't fly all out. I will work on it sometime soon and get you guys pics.

 

Swap over the 97 dash bar. I need to splice mine but I couldn't find a wire diagram.
