2017 v6 Passenger Airbag Replacement

[dracoval]

Hey guys, so I bought a wrecked 2017 Mustang V6 for cheap (just front end unserious damage) and the steering wheel air bag, driver knee airbag, and passenger dash airbag went off. Steering wheel and knee airbag are easy to replace, just wondering what is the process to replace the passenger dash airbag, I've seen somewhere that you need to replace the whole front dashboard all together just to replace that blown airbag, there has to be an easier solution. Does anyone know like a shortcut or something instead of removing the whole dash? Also no videos on how to remove the full dash online. I added photos as well to this post.

Unfortunately, the dash does have to be replaced, you might be able to find a used one in a junkyard, As far as removing the dash, it is a big job, but not really a hard job. If you do some searching on here for air conditioner evaporator leaks or replacement, you'll find several threads covering dash removal. A factory service manual is very helpful, it has step by step instructions.
Here is a dash removal thread. https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/a-c-evaporator-replaced-due-to-leak.136187/
There's a pretty good write up beginning on page 2. NOTE: You will not need to drain the coolant or discharge the A/C just for doing the dash.
