DIY remove top dash (passenger airbag)

Parting out my car, found a lot of good information online to help me remove the interior parts, however cannot find any good information to remove the top dash. Since I removed most of the dash trims, I decided to give a try. it is actually very easy to remove it. Total 9 Torx screws hold the dash and 2 Torx screws hold the airbag. Two wires connect to the light sensor and airbag.






Remove the upper glove box. 2 screws in red circle behind the glove box hold the passenger side air bag.







9 screws hold the dash. #1 & #9 are underneath the air vent cover. The rest are behind the dash trims




Airbag connector is located at upper right corner of the glove box. Didn't take pic of the light sensor wire, just pull the wire hard.




These tabs just seat underneath the tabs under the windshield. lift up the side that has screws probably 2-3 inches then pull towards you, it will slide right off. Make sure the airbag bracket won't be blocked by anything.
