Golf mk7 / Help removing airbag button
« Last post by Rudedog on 05 May 2026, 21:51 »I want to replace the trim piece on the left-hand end of the dash which has the airbag deactivation button in it.
Mine has a noticeable scratch down it and I've managed to find a brand new OE one for only a fiver.
Now I've scoured YT trying to find a 'how to' or someone who has done this but have drawn a blank - the only thing I've found is the VW manual procedure in the link below but this doesn't really help - I had a go but the button didn't want to move and I'm not going to force it - I can't workout which way the spring clips go.
Has anyone taken the button out from the trim who could share how it's done?

How visible are the blinds from outside the car? Do they make the rear windows look darker? Thanks.
