It is now well known among all owners of the Fiat 500 that there is a problem with the passenger airbag. The mat tends to come apart, creating an unsightly bulge: this is due to poor quality materials, exposure to sunlight, and the use of air conditioning.

It is certainly quite unattractive, but theoretically, it should not affect the operation of the airbag; however, many resort to solutions like the one in the video, where we have an inexpensive solution that does not excessively affect the functioning of the airbag, which, if there are no electrical faults indicated by the warning light, is not deactivated, so in the event of an accident, it will still work.
