Range Rover p38 airbag removal

Faizey76 · Oct 5, 2024

Hi, could I ask for some guidance please? I need to remove the passenger side airbag, I have removed the torx screws and the glove box but I can’t move the air bag out? Not sure if I have missed anything?

Thank you in advance

Hope you have it disconnected. Can't help with removal, never had to do it but the procedure will be in RAVE.

Best to either disconnect battery, or pull the SRS fuses (both of them). Then if you have the screws undone & unplugged it, it should simply lift out towards you.

Thank you for your advice I’m clearly missing something

I believe the wood trim needs prising off which you need to do carefully as they damage easily.
I have read but not tried it.....that you can use a thin scraper behind that trim and push the airbag forwards. That frees it from its lugs and then it will lift away.
Try that first? Let us know how it goes.

Forgot I'd taken a screenshot of what I'd read.

Thank you for that advice, I will try again at the weekend! And I will report back

That trim is held in by ****y little studs that snap for fun. I'd just disconnect and leave it alone.
