Anyone use anything to protect the air bags? I opted to wrap them in Arma Foil so they can't get any damaging sun. Just made the arma foil wrapped a little loose.

Michael:
Covering the air bags from the sun is a good idea. Especially now that replacing them is not so straight forward. I can distinctly recall seeing pictures of a product that someone in the GMC community was marketing, at least at some time. It covered the air bag much like a tube. I tried to do a search on the GMC photo site. But could not find it. Unfortunatly there are a lot of posters who do not have any description on their photos whatsoever and searches cannot find them again. Your idea may be the next product for sale. <grin>.
Maybe someone has a better idea how to find those pictures.

Here is the link to the bag protectors -- and where I got the idea for treating with 303...

We stock the protection bag that a fellow in southern CA made.
It is rather inexpensive and easy to use.

My protectors cost me about 25 cents, look ugly, but that Arma Foil is some really nice stuff.
