Airbags Deployed!
Guys, yesterday an Inifity FX ran into my C230K 
! He slammed my rear driver side wheel and he was doing about 50mph.. the driver side front and rear doors airbags opened plus the roof driver side airbag! All i need to know do i have to change the whole roof panel because the airbag popped or it can be put back into its place ? and does anyone knows what are the part numbers for the ( mentioned above ) airbags and what airbag sensor should i replace inorder to avoide the SRS note on the screen ?
Thanks in advance

If he was doing about 50mph the car would be demolished beyond the point of it ever being even remotely feasible that you might could fix it.
Car is totaled. Plain and simple.

THE C350
You will need new air bags as well as rear suspension work if he hit the wheel going 50... something bent. Where are you located? I figure somewhere where the c230s are still worth something because in the USA it would be totaled.

If he was going 50, the whole front of the car would be unrecognizable. Do you see what 40mph does to a car? If the car has several deployed airbags and roof damage.. can't imagine it would be worth fixing in any locale.

Drives me soooo insane. A friend of mine told me she'd been hit in her Dodge Neon at 50mph! I was like "OMG and you're alive?".. Saw the car, had a scuff on the bumper. I was like "here let me show you what 40mph will do to a Neon, you got hit at like 3mph"

Why would insurance not cover someone hitting you? not to be that guy ... but that makes no sense at all unless you ran a red light or something.
Get us some exterior pics of the car so we can figure out if there is anything around the damage that could cause you issues as well as some interior trunk pics if possible. Could have rear sam damage
BTW cops are idiots unless they did the skid mark analysis or were able to get testimony from the other driver they are talking out of there ***. The cops told me that if I was not in an SUV I would have been killed in my accident they tell everyone that lol If I had been in a car I probably would not have rolled which caused most of my minor injuries.
I was ridding shot gun and now will never trust a ford ever again.

Cops say that no matter what. You could be in a Cavalier and they'd tell you "Had you been in anything else, you would have died." Trey in your case had you been in the C320 you wouldn't have crashed at all. But to the OP.. if you're looking at roof panel damage, you probably again should not consider fixing it. That kind of structural damage means the car will never be the same.

You have insurance and it will not pay a damn thing? What kind of insurance do you have? Was the accident your fault? If your insurance won't pay a damn thing then I think its time to start looking at different insurance...
