Cover-Steering Column Opening: Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: On vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment and possible personal injury or death.
  1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
  2. Carefully pull downward on the top of the steering column opening cover to disengage the snap retainers from the instrument panel.
  3. Partially lower the top of the steering column opening cover to gain access to the retainer clips that secure the cover to the steering column opening reinforcement bracket.
  4. Remove the screws that secure the steering column opening reinforcement bracket to the instrument panel and remove the reinforcement bracket.
