It is easy, you really don't need to remove the dash to do the job. Trying to apply enough pressure to remove the airbag is the hardest, especially if you lack the strength like I do.

This is normal, I think it's a coating GM puts on . My Monte has it. an I have seen more at junk yard with this ..
