    Hi friends, I need to remove my passenger side airbag cover. My nice wife purchased me a certificate for a Carroll Shelby autograph and I do not want to just pry it off, unless that is the correct method. Anybody done this?

    Thank you very much, and I did do a search before posting this. Casey

    Not my instructions borrowed from another board:


    1. Un hook the battery. I did both terminals.
    2. Remove the glove box cover. 4 screws on the bottom and push the 2 tabs inwards and it comes out.
    3. Reach in and unplug the airbag.
    4. pull out the 2 screws that hold the airbag to the metal frame.
    5. push the 6 bottom clips inwards.
    6. Then do the sides.
    7. The top is hard to reach, so you push the top drivers side 2 clips inwards and then dio the others the best you can.
    8. From the outside, slowly pull on the airbag cover from the drivers side first working your way to the passenger side. It comes right out very easly that way. I did not have to force it all. Just slow pressure.
    9. Then set the airbag cover on a towell so you don't scratch the front. Remove the airbag unit and put it in the other cover.
    10. The cover pops right back in the dash very easy. It just clicks right in.
    11. Put the screws back in and plug the bag back in, put the glove box door on and connect the battery.
