Guys,
The Silver plastic spear on the AU XR's above the passenger air bag attached to the dash, can that be removed and replaced or is it fixed? Cheers |

Can be replaced, but you need to take out the airbag & cover.
The cover is held in with 4 breakable clips that cannot be reused.

4 blobs of silicon can take the place of the clips.

That's what I was thinking Sox's, however I was hoping it can be replaced without major problems. I noticed the spear is attached to clips that are fixed by a square head fixture to the dash. It appears to be a major job. I had noticed mine had snapped off the clips. Most unusual.

Get 4 new airbag cover clips and just pop the cover out. Remove the air bag and passengers side vent, and theres 4 10mm nuts that hold it in place.

I replaced my dash spear with a woodgrain one that I custom made from an Au fairmont dash piece. I didn't want to go through all the dramas of removing the airbag etc so I just busted the old one out, removed the plastic debris and silastiked in the new one! No rattles either!!!
