hi there I own a 2002 yaris mk1 and I want to remove passenger airbag cover as I'm getting a disturbing rattle from there.Can anyone help with photos please????

According to the service manual it does not separate from the dash, so you would have to remove the entire dash top to get to it. You can get a good look from underneath by removing the glove box and looking up into there.

I have remove the dash but it stuck there and the air bag cover wont let me take out the entire dash...Is there a screw that is holding it from there??? Service manual...where can i see that??? The glove box doesn't help,as the rattle seems to locate below passenger air bag and under the dash...

You have to disconnect the airbag connector and remove the bolt that holds the passenger airbag to the frame in order to remove the dash. The airbag stays attached to the dash.
