I had my H3 in for service today and I asked my service adviser if he could check and see if my HUMMER had the side curtain air bags as my rear roof pillars have the air bag symbol on them but I did not pay for that option or was it on the window sticker invoice... He told me that mine had the side curtains and that they where standard equipment on all H3's ... wtf ??? I thought that I saw them listed as like a $300.00 option on the window stickers of other H3's I had looked at. and they are showing them as an option on the HUMMER web site... Anyway I was just wondering if I got another freebie or what... </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
In answer to your question, they are an option, and if you were not charged, I would check to make sure, just for your piece of mind.
A very easy way for you to verify, is to remove the front A-pillar trim molding.
Remove the little screw cover halfway down on the molding, remove the screw, grab the molding and pull it is held in place with a few retainers.
If you have roof rail curtains, you will see what looks like canvas strap, coming from inside the headliner and anchored to the pillar with a screw. About four or six inches of this strap will come down the A-pillar.
There are no electrical connectors for the bags under the pillar molding, The inflater module and the wiring is located at the rear of the bags.
If you have the bags, you did get something for free, if you don't, it appears they may have installed the incorrect trip molding at the plant, and for legal reasons, the dealership should change these moldings to the correct moldings.
In addition, I would inform the service people to understand the car they are working on, and if they are not sure, to check (at least to cover their a**es in case of an accident), and the sales people to understand what they are selling.
The dealer can check via the Tech 2 to see how the SDM is programmed...with or without side roof rail bags.
