Boy, I still need to do a lot more



Did you take the airbag cover out to get the screws behind the trim? I can get the first few screws on either side of the long trim piece from behind the dash, but the airbag gets in the way of the middle screws.

Yep. There is a large aluminum frame back there that prevents access like mentioned in another thread.

The airbag is held in by 2 bolts (13mm iirc) and slides right out. Wish I had done this first as it makes getting the long piece out much easier.
