How do I remove the airbag?

I have an 05 Jetta TDI that I am doing the wiper stalk conversion with the FIS cluster. Does anyone know how ro remove the airbag?

If you reach around behind the steering wheel, you'll feel to openings. You'll need a small screwdriver to reach into these openings and release the clip mechanisms the hold the airbag on. It takes abit of fumbling the first time you try it. Once you've unclipped it, be careful not to pull it too hard. You'll only hve a couple of inches of travel before you'll have to reach in behind the airbag to disconnect it.
