Dash top removal(P1 V70 no passenger airbag)

[Vikingxl]

Ok first things first you will require a small flat bladed screwdriver a piece of cloth and a torx set

Ok step 1 is to disconnect the battery and wait about ten minites for the airbag to disarm

Then open the glovebox and remove the six torx screws on the front of the insert and remove it.

Now open both doors to get to the side vents and using the cloth and the small screwdriver slowly prise these both out.

Next do the same with the speaker grills
