can I get safety pack installed ?

[donkarnash]

I have MY05 Lib sedan and want to know if I can get the safety pack (curtain airbags & knee air bags) installed. If so, should I go to Subaru dealer ? Does anyone know if this could be done and how much it might cost.

I very much doubt anyone but a Subaru dealer could do it, if it is at all possible.
That depends a lot upon if the necessary wiring is already in the loom.
There's a chance these things have to be installed during manufacture, and retrofit would be prohibitively expensive.
Anyway, your first step is to ask a Subaru dealer.

thanks Ric, I thought it would be difficult. anyway, thats fine I just have to hope I never get in a situation that I need the airbags ...which means drive a bit more carefully. Cheers

Even if you could, it would likely be cheaper to upgrade the whole car.

additional bean bags?

My thoughts exactly, easiest way to have them fitted is go buy a new Lib that has them. While on the topic, do you think I could get the 2.5 turbo in my 3.0RB?

I talked to a scrap dealer lately after I saw a crashed 06 liberty and he said it would cost "about $10K for curtain airbag" and a few thousands of dollars for the front and side airbags. The car was a writeoff because of the airbags costs.

Are you sure there are no curtain airbags on the 05 Lib? It's supposed to have a 5 star safety rating by NCAP, isn't it?

10K for curtain airbag? whoa thats expensive
