Need help ASAP - Clio dashboard removal!

[kristianbowler]

Hi everyone, I am trying to remove my dash, I have followed everything correctly and have everything out (I have removed my dash before) but for some reason it will not come out AT ALL, even brute force won't remove it! it feels like it is getting stuck on the left hand side, near the passenger airbag, any ideas what to do? as for now I have a half hanging off dash ! Thanks

/sorry if this is on the wrong section/

You not forgotten any screws?

Have a good look around the dash to make sure there's nothing keeping it in place.

Wire might be caught somewhere?

I guess by dash, you mean dash top.

Tricky to remove when you don't know how, unfortunatly when you pull out in the Wong way you bend the hooks on the airbag making I pretty hard to get out.

Unclip the dash vent near the windscreen and get your fingers in there and see if you can unclip it.

Hi thanks for your help everyone, after 1 hour of struggling it came out! No idea how? Anyhow I decided to chop off the bits of plastic in the dash that hold it to the airbag's metal plate! No idea if my dash will hit me in the face if I'm ever in a crash but ill leave that for a rainy day! Thanks for all your help

i had this problem actually, i found pulling the passenger airbag side off first makes it work and come out easy. if you pull the drivers side first, it gets stuck on something!
