General How do you remove the glovebox!!??!!

[Bigsam84]

Got a airbag warning light on the dash, diagnostic says passenger squib, read a few bits about re-routing cables and checking but can't see how to remove the glovebox! any ideas about the fault is welcome as well please? Also the blowers on 1-3 aren't working so hopefully look at it all at the same time.

there are two pins right at the bottom of the glove box one each side which need to be slid in towards the centre.

kinda hard to explain but when you see it hopefully it will make sense

Thanks mate think I've seen them black pins? With a large flat head? And is it pretty obvious from there how the airbag etc comes out screws on show?

Airbag unbolts which you can see looking up from the glove box once its removed.

Make sure to disconnect the car battery for a minimum 30 mins before you touch any airbag connections and touch the metal bodywork with your hand before to dissipate any static you or your clothes may have built up. This is to minimise any risks of accidental airbag deployment which can happen if you muck about with them.

An airbag going off point blank range in your face will do a lot of serious damage
