Default Passenger Airbag Removal

Well....my drivers airbag has been removed and you guys say that disables my passenger airbag too. So I'm trying to take this thing out and put in the blocker. Yes I have searched and found nothing that can help me.

I've taken out the glove, removed the brace holding the airbag to the car, and removed the two 10mm bolts on the side. What else is there? The edge toward the windshield seems to be coming out but it seems pretty stuck now and I don't want to force the thing. Should it be coming out easier? LMK before I break something.

just give it a double check up in there, i thought there were like 4 little nuts that held it in from the top, but i also know that it sorta "pops" out. i got mine out and took the cover off the air bag and poped it back in the dash for the "factory" look.

yeah i did the four lower ones to remove the bracket from the dash and the airbag from the bracket. 4 10mm ones. Then there were two 10 mm way up in there on each side. Was it hard to pop it out? Or did you have to force the thing out?

Ahhhhh....finally did it. Yeah I just needed to give it a tug from the top instead of trying to push it from the bottom. Thanks all!
