    trying to pull on dash but it seems stuck in the pax airbag area. cannot figure out which bolts/screws are holding the airbag cover in place.

    Are you talking about the passenger airbag switch (in the black, center section) of the dash above the climate controls or about the actual passenger airbag?

    If the former, then @Jeremy Martin's attachment outlines the general process. Here's a write-up with photos that demonstrates the entire process as well:

    If you're having trouble with the actual airbag, here's the procedure on that:

    If something else, please include a photo of the trouble area.

    don't forget, if your messing around with a live airbag, disconnect the battery and wait 30 minutes before messing with it.
