Hi,
After reading a couple of threads on here where it was implied that the dashboard needed to be removed to swap the passenger airbag out, I wanted to provide some pictures to show that it can be easily removed/swapped without removing the dashboard regardless of whether its the smaller airbag from a van with 1+1 front seats or the larger airbag from a van with 1+2 front seats. All thats needed is:
Dashboard end panel removed and airbag switch unplugged,
Glovebox removed,
Screw to underside of upper dashboard cubby hole removed,
LHS vent removed,
LHS of Radio surround unclipped,
Upper dashboard cubby hole pulled out (will need to use some strength with this one!),
Remove 4 x torx head bolts holding airbag in,
Unclip airbag connector (preferably after the batter has been disconnected for 10 or so minutes).
Hope this helps someone, pictures below including one showing different airbag size differences:
