Curtain Airbag: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If replacing curtain airbag because of an airbag deployment, the inflator pan (quarter trim upper support at C-pillar) must be inspected, especially if the vehicle is equipped with a sunroof. The sunroof drain is connected to the inflator pan, and if cracked, could result in leaks. Also, the headliner must be replaced due to crease lines occurring during the airbag deployment.

  1. Install the curtain airbag into the vehicle. Make sure the airbag is not twisted upon installation.
  2. Install all push fasteners.
  3. Install the two long retaining bolts at the C-pillar to attach inflator. Torque bolts to 11 +/- 1 N.m (97.36 +/- 10 in. lbs.).
  4. Install the remaining two long retaining bolts to attach the curtain airbag. Torque bolts to 11 +/- 1 N.m (97.36 +/- 10 in. lbs.).
  5. Install the five short retaining bolts along the roof line. Torque bolts to 6 +/- 1 N.m (53.11 +/- 10 in. lbs.).
  6. Install the short retaining bolt to the front tether at the instrument panel on the A-pillar. Torque bolts to 6 +/- 1 N.m (53.11 +/- 10 in. lbs.). Make sure the tether is not twisted.
  7. Connect the wire harness connector to the rear of the inflator.
  8. Install the Headliner. Refer to INSTALLATION . Use a new headliner if curtain airbag was deployed on either side of the vehicle.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT THE BATTERY NEGATIVE CABLE. REFER TO DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - AIRBAG SYSTEM  FIRST. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN OCCUPANT PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
