rickster Jul 25th, 99, 12:27 PM I'm still somewhat new at this and apologize if this seems too simple, but I can't seem to get my dash pad off. The guy who sold me the car said all I had to do was remove the screws accross the front and it would slide right off. Mine doesn't seem to want to come off, and I don't want to damage any more than I have too (the dash pad is very bad). Thanks in advance for your help.

You may have to "tap" it slightly if its been in there a while. kevin d yanniz Jul 25th, 99, 8:02 PM Also, there are a couple of screws in side the glove box, on the underside of the pad. Riffers70 Jul 26th, 99, 5:53 AM Rickster, In my '70 there are four screws on the driver's side up above the steering wheel. Open the glove box and look at the top lip, you there are two more. Once these are removed the pad slips off. A little persuasion and the pad should pull straight back to you. Good Luck! ------------------ Fred Madness takes it's toll, please have exact change.

Also, if it's loose all around the front but stuck in the back, the clips could be hanging on the indents in the sheet metal just below the windshield. ------------------ members.tripod.com/dfdolerjr ddoler Jul 27th, 99, 12:47 PM The screw just above the steering column is a pain to get to.

Rickster 67ss Jul 27th, 99, 6:27 PM Make sure the nuts on the bottom of the pad are loose enough to pull and lift.The guy who put mine on had them so tight that I had to remove the front of the dash to loosen the nuts. ------------------ John 67SS ACES #2887 TC #127 | ||
