Question on Dash removal

Anyone have ideas?

funglenn,
never done it myself, one of these days i might, but for now, seems more trouble than its worth. what are you going to do?
also, i'd do the smart thing and unplug the battery completely, disable the airbags and *then* go to town.

I do not even know where to start with removing the dash, i was wondering could the squeak be coming from the dash flexing against the passenger airbag cover? My squeak seems to go away completely if I put a folded up towel between the door and the dash before I close it, thus putting pressure on the dash from the side.
Could I put WD-40 on the sides of the airbag cover?, or would this be bad for the airbag if it ever goes off?

I personally would not go through the trouble of removing the entire dash to do this. i think you're onto something though. if the source of the squeaking is coming from that area, have you tried removing the glove box and seeing if you can isolate and then fix it from there? i think that would be your first step.

If you do decide to remove the airbag, be careful!
Most dealerships have special tools to plug into the connector so it won't accidently go off. Those things can go off with just a little static electricity on you!

I figured it out. The dash is loose on the left side after the passenger airbag. Near were the dash meets the passenger door panel. I can hear it click when I push down on it. Must be a broken clip or something...
