Are you asking if an air bag has been blown if you can reuse it? If so, I believe it wouldn't even be worth trying to repack and use again....If you're wanting a whole new air bag with cover, I have one for sale. Just let me know if you're interested

you're at least going to put the cover back on right? You can unhook the air bag itself from the cover

What sucks tho is that air bag can go for a couple hundred bucks :\ .. what I wanted to do was get the cover from a deployed one, but im told they are ripped apart when they go off. I wasnt sure if taking off the cover from a good air bag would be save or not.

yea, when the air bag goes off, it tears open the cover. I actually have one sitting in my garage right now
