    there are studs coming out of the bottom of the dash pad that go through the metal. the nuts have to be removed from ubderneath. do you have a replacement for it? if not you might just want to slip a dash cover over it for now. at least until you get another one. :)

    The dash pad is held on with 9 nuts and 2 screws on each end. The metal dash can only be taken out with the windshield out.

    no! there is a whole lot of work to take the metal dash out.
    do a search for ...dash cap... at the top of the page. this is what a lot of us use.
