Looks like driver side works only on low impact.

Re: Crossfire on Ebay with both airbags deployed

I don't think the air bags actually deployed on impact. The windshield is still intact. I think they were manually "disabled" by the salvage yard because PA. may have a law that states no salvage car can be sold with its original air bags intact.
I'm just speculating hear, so don't quote me.

Yes, if you look at the photo of the interior, there is no dust from the deployment. Someone has cut the airbag compartments open and pulled the airbags out and cut them off.

Don't know if they removed the small explosive charge or not.

Apparently the engine lost 1/10th of a liter in the crash...

I'm thinking a crash that severe would probably set off the airbags...

Re: Crossfire on Ebay with both airbags deployed

Yep definitely snipped. Every picture of a passenger airbag deployment I have seen shows that the windshield is broken. the airbag's flap hasn't been fully deployed either. It looks like someone pried it open and cut the bag off. But why? Airbags are pretty expensive items. One would think that they would have taken the whole bag assembly out.

The un-fired squibs are definitely a hazard too.
