[Overseer]

my car doesnt have a passenger side airbag, so ive got a normal glovebox too.. lol

btw my '96 polo had a drivers side glovebox, very cool... missed it for a while.

Ah excellent would be interested to know about the Mk1 glve box too as I have a passenger airbag (factory fit so no idea how to wire it in - sorry) and there is nowhere to keep anything as soon as you put your foot down everything falls of that stupid shelf!!

Why exactly do you want to fit a passenger airbag?

i used to work in the airbag industry and it is not something I would attempt.

I presume you already have a driver airbag.  The driver airbag is far more important than the passenger airbag as it protects you from injuring your chest and/or face against the steering wheel. On the passenger side there is no steering wheel so, providing the passenger is wearing a seat belt, the prescence of an airbag is not so crucial.

It just seams a lot of trouble to go to in order to gain a minimal benefit.  Also, if I recall correctly the complete fascia is different on cars with a passenger airbag.
