    • Using a spudger, work off the cap of the first screw. The cap is tight; you may need a jimmy or metal spudger.

    • Using the flat end of a spudger, remove the airbag emblem. The emblem has clips on the top and bottom -- work carefully.

    To remove the cap shown in the first photo, you can use the blunt end of the spudger or ever your finger and press on one side of the cap. Half of the inside of the cap is recessed, so the edge of it will pop up when pressed, allowing you to remove it with your fingers, and reduce the risk of scratching it.

What is this bullshit? Ever think people may have both bolts there and tightened down still? Ever think other ifixit $@$* may still need to occur? And this is all you have to offer? Awesome thoroughness…
