So, i'll already done that, been there, but as far as I can see there are no instructions in that post. Just a note that the instructions are sent..........

I have actually read all the posts in the forum, but if i missed something I'm sorry about that.

My post in that thread HAS the intructions from Porsche. Did you read what it says?

"If the insulation strips are missing, loose, or have slipped out of position, apply new narrow felt tape strips."

You likely need to replace the felt strips.

Hello again, and thank you for your swift reply.

I might be a bit slow here but I cant figure this out. How do I get the cover off to access this, where are the bolts, if any.

Best regards

Any time you are working with the airbag there is danger involved - as they are detonation devices. You might want to reconsider having a qualified shop do this before tackling this. If you want to proceed (at your own risk) here are the instructions to remove the passenger airbag assembly:

1. Remove ignition key.

2. Disconnect the battery and cover terminal or battery.

3. Remove the air guide at the bottom right.

4. Undo the airbag unit from below and remove it rearward to the passenger's seat.

5. Disconnect the electrical plug connection.

6. Pullout the hinge pin on the airbag unit and remove the panel.

When re-installing the torque on the two screws should not exceed 15 ft lb (20 Nm).
