why do you need to remove it is the question? Also...you have to take the dash off and there are some screws/bolts behid it that hold it down still. Where did you find the tool for the security bolts? I'm looking for one myself.

thx

If you're that much into taking things out of your car then get a Hayne's manual.

I was reading over the airbag stuff a week ago.

removing the dash is really easy...make sure you have removed the radio/ac control area. Make sure you remove the two vents near the windshield (there are two screws there) There are also screws at the corners near the doors (bottom) but like MrEous said...just get one of those manuals and it will save you tons of time!

good luck with it...

DO NOT remove the dash.. What the hell are you fools telling this poor guy...
After you remove the "tamper proof bolts" you still have 4 10mm bolts to go.. You need to lay on the passanger side floor and look up.. you can see up the side of the bag from the bottom.. well on both sides there are 10mm bolts.. You will need a short 10mm wrench to get them. There is one to the front and one to the back.. Be careful.. lots of sharp metal jack up there.....
