Default How to remove wood cover over airbag

I purchased a replacement wood dash cover for the passenger airbag and I'm looking for instructions on how to remove the cracked one. I thought it would be obvious but it's not. Are there any good detailed instructions hanging around?

I just removed mine, you need a couple of flat slim screwdivers and some plastic or card to protect the dash where the screwdriver rests. I levered mine from the side nearest the centre and once it had swung away worked the other side free. Its held by 4 clips which have metal teeth which grip the metal support strips built in the back of the panel, so it requires a bit more force than you'd imagine but once you get it moving it will come free, then its just to push the new one on with a few careful thumps where the clips are in the corners to seat it flush.
