Don’t pull on pre facelift models with passenger airbag. There are torx screws on the underside lip holding the trim

Thanks for this. Was wondering what to do on my 04 with passenger airbag.

Wish I would have read your comment first

You have to take off the top dashboard with that removed you can access the safety bar holding the airbag plate in place but you will damage it when pulled on. You have to remove more than that to remove for painting or resurfacing. Any way watch more videos for more investigative work. I damaged mine but it’s held nicely with some thin industrial strength double sided tape. Good of luck God bless all your journeys.

Thank you very much. It was so easy

[@hipoman8087]

Nice instructions. Thanks.

I was told there's torx screws in the glove compartment to remove the trim

[@oneofgodsi3494]

Should have included in the description or video CANT DO THIS WITH AIRBAG PANEL! I fuked mine up with your pulling on $hit method! There are dash screws underneath the panels closest to the glove box. Just saying. Other than that good video for my drivers side. 😝

Looks great. How did you remove the trim around the vents and speedo to paint?

Please update the title of this posting (e.g. "except if airbag panel"). I just tried this on my '04 R50 and it now appears partly broken.

What red paint did you use?

[@fourwheelsoffun555]

Literally rustoleum strawberry fields red. One of the first things I did to the car
