Passenger Air Bag Cover

[StuartT]

On a 1998 Explorer, does anyone know how to get the passenger air bag cover off on the dash board. There is a rattle coming from that area but I don't want to damage the cover prying on it incorrectly. Might be hinged for all I know.

Drop the glove compartment door all the way down by squeezing the sides in , the air bag is bolted in from behind, disconnect the battery and turn the headlights and a few other things off and on and then wait a few minutes before unplugging it, and treat it like a bomb because it will hurt you if it goes off ,

Thanks for the help.

Can't I just take the plastic cover off the front of the dash without removing the bag? That is all I am trying to do.

No. It's all one piece. It's very east to remove. A few 10mm nuts.
