I need to re-glue the dash vinyl around the edge of the airbag area. I need
to get the passanger side airbag out to do it.
First, I removed glovebox and removed 4 nuts out which were attached under
the instrument panel.
Second, two screws were removed from upper side of golvebox.
Still I could not take apart the airbag from dashcover.
If anyone have an experience, please let me know.

It's attached to the bottom of the dash. The whole dash unit has to
come out to remove the airbag module from it.

Remove screws at the ends under the vent trim, one under each speaker
grille, two above the instrument pod overhang, one above each A.C
vent (Pull the vane assemblies out), and last, remove the glovebox
door and liner.

If you want to drive with the airbag out, get a 2.5 ohm 1/2W resistor
and plug the leads into the airbag harness connector holes. This will
make the controller think the detonator is still connected so it won't
generate a fault condition.

Thank you.....Is there any problems such as accidental airbag explosion or
mulfuntion indication on the instruction light.

Disconnect the battery and keep your head clear when unplugging it.
There's always a danger when handlng explosives. A 2.5 Ohm resistor
in the plug holes (not the bag assembly) will keep the controller from
throwing a fault code.
If you complete the job without reconnecting the battery, then there's
no need for the resistor.
