Model: Vauxhall Meriva Meriva A, MK 1 - Years 2003-2010
Part: Airbag

How do you remove the airbag from the steering wheel of an Opel Meriva? Let's look at removing the airbag. To remove the airbag from the Meriva, you need to unscrew the securing screws on the side of the steering wheel cover. Once the airbag is released (driver's side), disconnect the power connectors and take it out from the steering wheel. To refit the airbag, retrace the previous disassembly steps.
