Airbag Removal
Does anyone have tips for removing an airbag that won't pop out?
I swapped my steering wheel again and I pushed the airbag back in but I don't think it's seated correctly or the wires are catching on something. The horn doesn't work, see first sentence, so I'm trying to remove the airbag, I can feel the clips moving up and down as I press on the metal spring part, but the bag isn't popping out like it did when I removed it 30min ago.
It's humid as hell today so I'm taking breaks in and out of the garage. I've swapped the steering wheel 2-3 times before so I'm not new to this, just running into hiccup.

Goodluck!
Nothing was damaged. The wiring behind the airbag needs to be seated correctly in the channel for everything to click back in and there's no way to correctly channel the wiring. It's a trial and error thing. Some get lucky just reinserting the airbag and sliding it in, and some don't get lucky and have to re-do it a couple of times.
