Default Air Bag Cover Repair

Hi,

My passenger air bag cover is starting to bubble where the glue has failed. It's near the dashboard pad towards the front windshield. I'm thinking of using some silicone caulk to glue it back down. Anyone see any problems with the airbag operation properly if I re-glue it?

Thanks!

Just finished it this weekend. It came out pretty nice. Way better than what it was for only about 45 minutes worth of work. I used 3M emblem and trim adhesive. Paint stirrers came in handy for wedging in between the dash and the pad while the glue dried.

Thanks again!
