steering wheel sideplay, '91 900, w/airbags

The very clean '91 that I just bought with only 93K actual miles shows some clearly excessive sideplay (3-5 mm) in the steering wheel, as if the upper column mounting bolts were loose.
But all that lies beneath the plastic shrouding which I presume covers the DS airbag assembly (in addition to the airbag at the center of the steering wheel itself, I assume??).
There is no obvious slack otherwise in the steering rack or the front suspension and the handling appears perfect. I'm reluctant to mess around down in there for fear of accidentally firing off or disabling the airbag(s).
Is there a simple fix?
