This tutorial shows how to remove the dashboard, the front glove compartment, and the air vents from the passenger side. The operation is not difficult, but particularly delicate as it also involves the airbag deployment mechanism.

To remove the plastic parts secured with clips, it is important to observe the direction in which they are pulled out to avoid breaking the clips. Besides a flat tool like a utility knife, you only need a simple screwdriver.

Warning: the video shows how to perform the disassembly, but for reassembly, you'll have to manage on your own!
