Does anyone recommend lubricating the external surface of the rear air bags?

Baby oil, liquid silk, whatever. She has to be into it though or you'll get yelled at for trying.

Safety features such as airbags are reliant on silicone lubricants to ensure they deploy under extreme conditions. The conditions may be affected by temperature, water, dust and high speeds, and need a substance that can withstand all these factors.

Protection
A liquid silicone rubber is used to coat the airbag. This coating protects the airbag's fabric from heat and the force of inflation.

Malleable
The coating enables the airbag to deploy evenly and stay inflated longer. It also allows it to be folded in small enough areas to enable a more streamlined design.

Sensors
Silicone fluids are also used to protect the sensors needed to trigger an airbag's deployment. The lubricant is able to stand up to extreme temperatures because of its viscosity and temperature stability.

You should never have to do anything to your airbags unless they deploy... then they need to be replaced.

BTW... the Marauder doesn't have rear airbags. We have front and side airbags for the front seat passengers.

Airbags
Driver Airbag - Standard
Passenger Airbag - Standard
Passenger Airbag Cutoff Switch/Sensor - Standard
Front Side Airbag - Standard
Second Row Side Airbag - N/A
Front Side Airbag with Head Protection - Standard
Second Row Side Airbag with Head Protection - N/A
Side Head Curtain Airbags - N/A

I think he is meaning the air suspension. (hence the forum this is in)

I use a protectant on mine, and keep them clean.
