One piece dash removal

[lilblackcat]

I heard that you have to take out the front windshield to remove a '74 single piece dash. I thought I was down to the last bolt when the news came in so I gave up temporarily. Any advice on this?

Thank you.

Yes, as far as I can figure out you need the windshield out in order to get the 1-piece dash out. At least on my '76...

i've removed several without removing the windshield...i bout a cheap right angle screwdriver at autozone which permits access the screws....

lift the windshield rubber about 1/4 in from each corner and you'll see the screws...another option is to drill the screw heads...i've done that on rusty screws that a screwdriver wouldn't budge

I've taken a dozen out and always pulled the glass--thought i could get at the 2 front screws but they are very tight to the windshield and buried under the gasket--also fairly substantial in size. I'd have to see it done to believe it without pulling the windscreen--imho---Brent

It's doable. Just be patient and take a break if you get frustrated. I've removed a few one piece dashes w/o removing the glass. Good luck
