Default Urgent- I think there is a major problem with my car!

As part of my mini - restoration, I am replacing my sun visors. I get the sun visor off and I see the warning label! It says the airbag can kill children and the safest place is in the back seat.





I can't find the back seat anywhere! Should I take my car in?

No, just remove the label.
Out of sight= out of mind.

No worse than how children are magically immune to death on their 13th birthday!

Back seat sounds better than storing them in the Cargo-Hold.

Yeah, I'm going to have to. Just to make sure I took the whole interior out looking for the back seat. No luck.

Just leave it like that: with all those exposed sharp edges, the passenger air bag will be the least of the kid's problems.

It is so tempting. I wish my car was driveable. It could be like the Pepsimax commercial with Jeff Gordon.

Put 10 kids in the hatchback before you pull into the dealership and ask your question.
