I tried the Search, no help - Shock I know. Anyways, Im taking about 80 percent of all my plastic pieces off in front including dash and all that jazz ive got EVERY SINGLE screw takin out or dang near close, HOW do you get the thing off?!

Not sure how I havent broken the brittle thing yet as much as ive tugged and pulled on it haha.

Also the passenger air bag area, is that piece able to come out? I unscrewed the air bag holder and pushed it down and it seemed to raise a little, Tryin to make inside pretty haha help please.

In order to remove the dash you only need to take out the bolts at the windshield, two pivot bolts loosened (one on drivers side by hood latch and other on passenger side above where feet go), then the panel above the drivers knees pops off (clips) then two bolts that hold steering column to dash...and its ready to come out...just be careful of all cables and wires...as dash will tilt towards seat...hope it helps

The air bag cover has to come off. Open the glove compartment, the screws are there by the latch, maybe behind a flat plastic piece. The cover and the airbag will come out as one. You need to unplug it first. Disconnect the neg. battery cable first.

Are you just trying to take the plastic dash cover off or the whole dash itself?

Disconnect your battery and WAIT AT LEAST FIVE MINUTES before playing with air bags. Them fellers can kill in a heartbeat.
