Bubbles forming on airbag liner
 

I just noticed some seperation of material on the passenger side airbag. It seems to be growing! Anybody else have experience with this? Thanks!

I saw this on a car for sale about a year ago? have you ever had a crash in your car or have the airbags ever gone off? because this car that i looked at had had a crash and the car was fixed at some crappy dealer and the airbag covers wernt put back on properly so they looked like that but much worse. Other than that cant help you

Me too.
 

Mine look like that too.

I've just noticed this happening as well. I bought my 01 X5 used, but the carfax history reported no accidents. Any thoughts on fixing this?

My 01 looks like that on both sides

my 2000 4.4 the same thing carfax reported no accidents

Its not because of any accident. It a recall on some X5's. Its very common. Something about water leaking around the A-Column.... I might be wrong with the wording, but its very common. Not to worry.

I have the same issue on my 01 X5. It seems to pull tight when it's hot outside and then have those bubbles in it once it cools. I suspect the adhesive on the material has failed and only the expanding plastic underneath tightens it up once it's hot.

recall?
 

This was a recall on some X5's? Do you know any more about that BimmerDude? I'm not really worried. It just looks crappy!

Could be sunroof drain tube leaks.
