Hello and welcome to Justanswer,
My name is XXXXX XXXXX X am here to assist you with your question.

Because the other expert isnt here let me see if I can help you. The cover can be removed but to do so you will need to remove the air bag module. To do so you will need to depower the air bag system. I have enclosed instructions for the cover, the air bag module and the procedure for depowering the system. Let me know if you need more information.
