Then, remove the front pillar trim from both sides of the vehicle by prying off the bolt covers, removing the exposed bolts, and pulling the pillar trim away from the pillar. After that, remove the instrument cluster and disconnect the electrical connector for the passenger's side airbag, along with its bracket mounting bolts.

Proceed to remove the instrument panel mounting fasteners, and once all are removed, carefully pull the panel away from the reinforcement bar and
