Question:
Having trouble with uploading pics. If this is duplicated, sorry. Airbags are leaning badly, is this normal? what can I do?

I spoke with my contact at Trailair (it was his father that invented this pin box!) and he said that "in most cases the bag had been improperly crimped at the manufacturer. Meaning the metal plates on either end of the bag are a small degree out of alignment, causing it to inflate lopsided as you see in the photo. It doesn't seem to affect its performance, however, some customers feel the need to replace it."
