Question Black on Black Liftback...Airbags???

New to YW and not sure where to post. Just got a 09 Yaris S Liftback black on black 5spd (pics soon to come after a good cleaning) , however it needs passenger side curtain and seat airbags... I did a search and cant seem to find enough detail. Can someone lead me in the right direction on where to buy and how to install?

Why would it need new air bags? Was it wrecked at some point? A new side curtain bag can be installed, but I don't think the seat bag can....you will need to buy a new seat with a good bag. I can't help you on installation.....I would suggest having a professional do that so you know it will work if you get into an accident.

Check out eBay.....lots of people parting cars out there. You can also try http://www.car-part.com (if you're in the US).

Good luck!

Yes it was in a accident on the passenger quarter, they replaced the quarter and did not need to repair anything else, they did a decent job with spot welds and blending and matching the paint...PPG
The side airbags went off and the body-man that did the repairs did not want to put anymore money into it. That sucks that I have to buy a new seat
Oh well thanks for the input

what country do you live in? What is the exact model of your car? Answering these 2 questions will help people figure out how to help you.

Thankfully they do, they should really make front, side, knee and front-rear curtain airbags a standard on all cars

Yes I bought the car when the bags were already deployed...no frame damage and they put in a new quarter panel so no bondo, clean as can be Yaris with only 11k miles for a great price
