    Curious about the legalities of airbag removal. Did you research that? I’m having difficulty finding solid info. But my insurance says if it’s illegal that there’s risk of low payout if it’s in an accident and also major liabilities if a passenger is hurt in a vehicle that has had the airbags removed. I’m converting a transit connect passenger and this has been a major roadblock. Any legal info you’ve found would be appreciated! Thanks so much.

      Hi Kristy. A little late to your post here but if you own your van, and you're removing your rear seats and building out cabinets or anything near where your side curtain or side impact airbags are located, you'll want to remove them. There's no legality involved because there won't be passengers sitting back there. I removed my rear side curtain air bags. I still have my front driver and passenger airbags as well as the side airbags which are actually located in the driver and front passenger seats. Yes, you do get a discount on your insurance premium if you have a passenger van with side curtain airbags. Those airbags typically protect the occupants from the flying glass of the windows breaking. But if you're covering the windows or building cabinets over them, there will be something there to protect you from the flying glass too. You're not going to go to jail for removing your airbags on a car you own if you no longer need them.

    • @dano7369
      @dano7369 3 роки тому

      @@meandzogo They're not on a loop as in one won't work without the other. Your airbag light will be on after you remove the cargo ones but the others will still deploy when needed so far as I've read and heard from others. You can get an 'Airbag disconnector kit' from a company called Airbag Systems in Allen, Texas that will simulate the airbag being attached and will negate the dash light... it costs $130/each. For that I can live with the light. You literally just disconnect the wire from the pyro and remove the bolts holding it in place. Obviously you need to remove the headliner and also be sure to detach the negative lead on your starter battery before attempting to disconnect the pyro device so it doesn't accidently discharge! It's easier than it sounds. The hardest part was using the flathead screw driver to disconnect the harness from the pyro device (awkward angle). Hope that helps!

      @@meandzogo You don't have to cut the bag material. The side curtain airbags run from the back window up to the front pillar opposite the front door. There is one air bag on each side. If you're cutting it, you're doing something wrong. If you cut it, you also ruin it. Which is a $500/per airbag mistake. (the going price for a pre-owned side curtain airbag on eBay).

    Hey, Great video! Thanks! I used your video a few months ago to remove the headliner to hammer out a ding. I put everything back but I must have done something wrong cause the key less entry or key FOB isn't working. (Note: I did plug that recepticle that is connected to the fabric headliner see 6:30 but it still didn't work) My question is, when you put it all back together, were there any wires or multi wire receptacle plugs that stayed loose (not connected to anything) or did everything have a plug? One more thing, the wires that were connected to the plastic shelf (see 4:50), what were those and were they connected to anything? Anything helps. Thanks!

    Two things will make it 1,000 times easier. 1. Remove the Lucky Charms box first. That's the box which contains the dome light and climate controls (if you have that option). Access it's barbs by removing the two pockets above it. The pockets are held in by barbs immediately behind the outer lip on the pockets. Use plastic pry tools to gently work around the perimeter of the pockets until all barbs release. The pocket will pop loose when they do. With the pockets removed you can see the two barbs holding the Lucky Charms box in. Use a shorty flat blade screwdriver to fold the barb hook in so it can pass through the hole. The box will rotate down on two pivots in the rear, but don't take it off. All the access you need to wires and the hidden screw is right there. 2. Remove the 4 plastic covers from the outside with an awl not from the inside with a screwdriver. Just push the awl in between the plastic cover and the shelf it is recessed in. This will press in one of the barbed legs and pop it out. If it doesn't come loose on the first poke you did not enter where there is a barb. Simply move the awl over a bit and poke again. There are 3 or 4 wide barbs. They are easy to hit within two or three pokes. An awl is pointy enough to get between the cover and shelf without leaving marks. The covers are not all the same so number them with masking tape. Great video. Thanks!

How were you able to take out the walls and do insulation without damaging the curtain airbags? Wow! I don't ever plan on doing any cold weather camping, do you think insulation is necessary? I know it would help also with air conditioning. Did you buy the van new or used? I am so excited to see how this turns out! Enjoy your journey!

      Hello!!! I completely removed the side curtains airbags...they may be a nice safety feature but are not required. I brought mine slightly used, it had about 22,000 miles on it. In terms of the insulation i have seen different opinions online when it comes to the passanger van since it has so many windows...i think the most important is the ceiling but i do plan on making insulated curtains so not sure how much insulating the walls will help but i figure it cant hurt!!
