Default Dashboard removal Help !!

I have taken out all visable screws and even took out the glove box. It seams to be hung up towards the a- pillars. The dash moves upward about 1 inch, thats it. I am trying to replace the passenger side airbag.
I must be missing something here.

The defrost vent on top has a couple of screws too. Don't forget the two screws in the top of the instrument cluster going up into the dash pad.

I know there is a great write up on installing the HUD. I used it myself when i put in hud on my old '01. it pretty much took you by the hand.
just take your time and don't force it.

Yeah, I just replaced the HUD in my '99 Coupe. Took two and a half hours from start to finish. Getting the dash pad out wasn't that bad.

Thanks for the help. I got the airbag out. I'm going to sell the bag. But, i'm not sure if people need the cover too or not.
Thanks again
