How to remove the airbag from a Skoda Rapid? Disconnect the battery terminals located in the engine compartment. Use a screwdriver to release/unscrew the securing clips/bulbs at the back of the steering wheel.

Once the airbag (driver's side) is released, disconnect the power connectors and remove it from the steering wheel. For refitting the airbag, connect the power connectors, then press it onto the steering wheel while simultaneously securing the airbag clips.

Reconnect the battery terminals and test the operation. Replace the steering wheel during the airbag removal if damaged.
