Default How do i remove the pass airbag in my 96 civic

like the topic says, i can not figure it out, i spent 2.5 hrs trying to today and no dice. I searched on here because i know i has been discussed before but i must not be looking for the right thing. I am in need of getting this out the airbag has deployed and it looks like crap. Is there any one that can hit me with a link or any info on where i can get info to get this damn thing out. Thank you in advance

Disconnect the wires and remove the screws. The tricky thing is that there are tabs on the airbag assembly that holds it on the dashboard. Being that the airbag is already deployed, grab a flat head screwdriver and pry that &*tch out

the bolts are EASY to find...just make sure u take ur glove box off the hinges..or take it off completely...theres 2 10mm bolts right infront and u jus gotta get a lil lower to c the 3rd 10mm bolt..ive never done airbags till 2 weeks ago and i didnt fudge up my dash..lol..n i dont think my car had any dry foam..or i dont know at ur tlaking about..lol..good luck again!!
