im not for sure how to fix it buy my passenger side airbag is kinda startin to come up a little in the corner and up by the passenger side windsheid defogger its startin to kinda peel up.
thats what i mean the defogger vent
yea mines been like that for awhile i tried to buy another and that didnt work so im thinkin it the whole dashboard thats screwed up. i used sum 3m double sided tape and trimed around that piece.g/l to u
explain that, u got pics?
I'm not positive as to what you guys are talking about...but if I'm right in my thinking then I would suggest to try heating up the peices that are peeling off, get some adhesive like superglue (so it's clear and not noticable if you screw up) and bend/glue the peeling peices back in place.
i dunno bout urs, but my defogger vents have these things that hold it down
Mine on both sides are coming up. I was just thinking about that the other day. Does anyone know if these vent are sold?
WTF :evil: the same thing is on mine...and it's only right side. Maybe we should contact mitsubishi, and hopefully they will do a recall or something https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...lt/biggrin.gif . I'ts worth a try.
do it, i gotta start living up to my name (ViciousLord) i been to nice, il be more then happy to bitch at them.
oh and by the way fuk everybody on this board!!! :firedevil: j/k
Hell yeah contact em bout replacing all of them if there so many people with the same problem they better do a recall and replace em for free!!
Uhh, recall ain't never gonna happen. That happens to every vehicle in time. It's due to the material that the dash is made out of. It's like a foam stuff covered in the vinyl material that you see. The sun causes the foam to expand and the vinyl to shrink, or something like that. But, on the part of the dashboard that is most exposed to the sun it happens the worst. Also, the airbag on the passenger side is noticable because it's a small segment within a much larger segment.
My airbag cover is doing it to.
I'm sure we can get 40 people from here. I'm sure there's plenty more.
If we get 100 people, maybe they'll fix it.

I've seen double posts, but I think that was the first triple post I've seen.
I have a dash mat to protect my dash board. Maybe you can get one and cover up the damage, if all else fails.
Good luck.
ok where do i go to get one, link?
give me something

lol give him a break...hes on AOL :biggrin:
All,
I have seen these in several
different catalogs, unfortunately
I cant remember exactly which one
it was https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...ault/smile.gif Go to www.jcwhitney.com
I think they have them or they can
order them at AutoZone www.autozone.com
or Advanced Auto Parts www.advancedautoparts.com
Try JC Whitney first. My 97 ES doesnt have
that problem (just knocked on wood)
but if it happened to my car I would
just get a cover for it.

i have the same problem with my airbag and my defogger vent
same here, with both the dash and passenger airbag
Uhhh, same here I guess. WOW, this is quite the problemo... vents peeling up on the passenger side. I never even noticed it until this post, probably wouldn't have.... Thanks ViciousLord!
I am definately not a fan of dash mats, I will look into it this weekend. There has got to be a easy fix, I mean shit... it's just plastic.
your welcome 2true,lol, im not letting this topic disappear, so come on people post
its not the vents its the dashboard its self ive already replace the defoster part mines not too bad i just stuck sumthing on top of it to wedge it in so it will stay all summer long i did that it looked gay but now it doesnt pop up as much as it did.the only thing is to get a new dashboard if u want that check out oem-car-parts.com
there isnt shit there for the 7g galants
My vent is doing the same thing..on the right side....
you can add my name to your list, airbag, pass/side!!!!
Yea mine is doing that to, up near the defroster vents and also right below the 2 center vents.. so much for using armoral.. I thought that crap was supose to stop cracking and things like that, but i think mitsubish needs to do a recall cars barley 4 years old and my dash looks like shit..
any solutions?......im getting pissed
mine is doing the same thing by the defroster vent.
im not letting this go
me either! we need to do something or at least figure out a way to fix it...
??
once again im on top!!
Yep passenger side defrost vent just woudlnt pop back down into place so uh I glued it down. No more problems.
Allright so its been awhile but has anyone figured out how to fix this? When i bought mine i didnt notice it, but once i got my car home i noticed that the right side defroster vent was popping up and my passanger airbag was warpped too!

I could prob just like glue the dash down or somethin, but the airbag i dont know what to do other than replace it.
I have the same problem on both of my 7g's
I did have this problem but i fixed it 2 months ago!!!! what u do is pop of the plastic vent covers. use something small to move debree from under the dash. ( cleans the little foamy stuff out ) just a little. only the loose and crumbled things come out by using tape, the debree sticks to it. get like 2 tubes of super glue, crazy glue, or any other adhesive of the sort. stick the nose of the tube where the dash has seperated and put glue all in there. then push the dash down and hold it for about 2 min. let it go and it will hold. the red arrows show you where to clean and apply the glue. i had to do 8 inch sections at a time, but it works. i will post pics tomorrow of how mine looks.

the car probably was in a little accident for the airbag to be beaten up like that, not sure but guessing.Quote:
