| Passanger side airbag compartment cover is disengaging from it's designed apparatus. it appears to be caused by direct sunlight that is removing the vinyl covering to the housing compartment of the passenger side airbag. my concern is the safty of the deployment of the airbag. has the proper functionality of the airbags deployment been compromised due to the defective cover. and due to the covering being loose, could the airbag deploy at anytime without it's designed cause. | |||
