A Major DIY Task on our 'New' Car

Tweet

We bought a new (used) car about a month ago. We weren't planning to do so just yet but a BMW X5 4WD came up for sale. We knew and trusted the seller and it seemed like it was meant so we bought it. It is ten years old and has a good number of miles but we can't afford to pay too much and we wanted a 4WD to get to a few more 'rough' places around this great country of ours. And we've already been able to sell the Holden Calais. However, the other day the front window went down and wouldn't come up again. After going back and forth to YouTube videos a considerable number of times, Vince managed to fix the window. It took most of the day but that is of little consequence. Once or twice he thought he had reached the limit of what he could do but eventually we got it all back together again. In the process the airbag assembly had to be removed so I thought you might be interested to see what is looks like before it goes off. The white bit in the middle is the actual bag. The capsule type thing on the right hand side is full of the stuff that makes the bag blow up. I'll do a separate post on that. The bag explodes out the other side of the assembly and you can see dotted lines where the covering splits to allow the bag out.
