gball:
Do you have a Bentley Manual? I don't have mine with me right now but used it to remove my whole passenger airbag. I removed mine to aid in removing and replacing the horizontal strip that separates the upper and lower dash.
I don't remember if the whole process is needed just to replace the cover, but it seems like I had to remove a couple layers of foam to access underneath the dash; them maybe I needed to disconnect an air conditioning vent; and finally loosen two vertical bolts. This allowed the whole unit to slide out toward the passenger seat where I disconnected the airbag while I worked on the horizontal strip. It seems like the airbag cover hinged somehow from the top, but I just can't remember any details.
Of course I disconnected the battery for at least 15 minutes before working with the airbag and my car is a MY 2000. 987 models are probably different.
If someone has access to the Boxster Bentley manual they detail the process nicely.
Best of luck,
