Insurance co's don't have a problem replacing airbag wiring harness if they get damaged and can honestly say I've never repaired one as they'll pay for a harness replacement no problem. Nobody wants the liability of a late or failed deployment. Even per gm's instructions you posted they still want the crimp soldered. So what's that prove?You must be registered for see images attach
this is what ford says to do a simple splice, for reference
heres a modern GM example of how you should handle wire repair for a seat harness (Airbag critical)You must be registered for see images attach
about half the post(after this part) is dedicated to the propeer wrap and supporting the harness as to properly support the wiring and keep it trouble free for years.
i have to question how old that information is, as that type of repair is not happening in bodyshops by trained personnel.
Any repair method can introduce resistance in a line which can affect airbag timing when dealing with SRS.
