My car is a Qashqai Diesel year 2008. According to the various instructions I should be able to clip out the top side panel to access the glove box light/wiring BUT, my model has not got two separate panels, just the one which has the front passenger air bag switch on it. Once I turn the air bag switch to the off position can I then safely clip the whole side panel off to access the glove box light wiring?
Thanking anyone in anticipation of their help.

Regards roger

Make sure the ignition is off first, that trim just pulles off. If you open the glovebox the lip of the trim is accessable. You can just pull it off with your fingers.
