Hello everybody, This is my first topic I've started (hope it's not messed up) and It's a question. I'm planning on pulling my dash to paint it, simular to Frotou's and Kristen85's(minus the fur, no offense). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have already removed all but the upper dash (where the airbag is located) and the steering column. I know to disconnect power for at least 90 sec before even breathing on the airbag system. I can see some exposed fastners on the dash but I dont know how the airbag is connected, so I don't want to just rip it out of place. I've looked in my Chiltons manual and it doesn't go into that area, so I thought I should ask before I start. This is the last thing I need to do before I start reassembling my gutted interior. Thanks, and love the site I haven't been a member long but I've browsed the site since near the beginning.

can you pop off the passenger air-bag cover w/ battery in and no work?
i'm curious because mine has a rattle and i'd like to fix it.

air bag cover tears. it folds in the back but is kinda plastic bolted in the front. dont mess with it or else youll never get it back the right way. (its meant to break)

lets see....
take off steering wheel
take off glove box
take out middle consol
preferably take out seats
take out ac piping
remove ac/cd/vents
remove inst panel
remove supprt panels on both sides of windshield
undo all wires from fuse box and junctions
undo wires that lead to the doors
airbag bolts strip easily
if ur sure you undid everything the dash requires quite a pull to pop off
