I've been reading this forum for about 3 months now (since I bought my '97 LC) and have noticed there are some pretty intelligent people here. So I was hoping you may be able to help me out before I go crazy from the rattle in my dash.
It sounds to me like the passenger side airbag is loose and just needs a little tightening. Of course gaining access to it seems impossible. I just picked up the service manual and it says to remove the dash (the whole dash - steering wheel, steering column, gage cluster, radio, heater controls, console, and a whole list of other things) to get to the airbag. That seems like a little more work than I want to do.
What I am wondering is whether it is possible to pop the cover (or air door as it is referred to in the manual) and then be able to gain enough access to get to the bolts. The picture in the manual shows what looks like a clip on the left side of the door that I might be able to release with a screwdriver.
Anyone ever deal with this or have any ideas?
Thanks for the help.
Tom
