MG MGF Technical - Passenger Airbag blanking plate

Hi,

Since there was a let up in the rain, I thought
that I'd fit my new speakers today. Have removed the
glove box to find a place to mount the crossover
for the speakers I decided, somewhat foolishly
to remove the airbag blanking plate, just to
have a look what was behind it !

The problem that I now how is how to fix this
back in. I have tried a few times before darkness
defeated me!!!

I look in the archieves and there are a few articles
about how to remove the blank, but no-one
says how to put it back using the original spring
clips......

Suggestions and help please

Isn't it just a simple case of aligning everything up and pushing (reasonably hard) back into place Paul?
Rob Bell

that was how I did it

The airbag blanking plast is a major source of squeaks in the dash, Whilst you have it out might be worth wedging in some felt. I did this a while ago and it works a treat.

The other bit that I didn't mention was that
I can't remember where the top spring clips
go or how they were attached.

Is there room behind this plate to put a cubby hole like on the Rover 25. If so, what about some entrepreneur designing one using vaccuum moulding technology

Nope,

There is a big tube-like brace that seems to run
across thw width of the car. So there does not
seem to be enough usable space.....
