    A plea to whoever owns/runs this site. I am about to remove my dash but can no longer get in to view the instructions. It keeps saying I "failed the cookie test" and loads a blank page. I have done everything possible to my computer to allow cookies and still get this error. PLEASE remove this useless routine from your script, I'm BEGGING you! :(

    That write up is only for the pad. Got that off using this same procedure, now I need to pull the dashboard.

    Somehow the maverickcomet.com site got clobbered with some bad programming routines which looks for cookies that can't be set (at least on my 'puter). If someone could actually get to that site and save the dashboard removal instructions as an "mht" archive file, then e-mail it to me, I'd be real grateful. :bowdown:

    Thanks!

    OK, just need to know whether or not the heavy black rubber seal (above the dash panel) gets replaced when replacing the front glass. If so, I'll go ahead and slice it so I can get to the bolts. Is this what a new one looks like before installation? (thanks, Chuck)

    You'll have to remove the windshield (it'll be alot easier) the heavy rubber seal is part of the windshield gasket.

    Got a hold of Mark and he worked up a temporary fix for the site. :thumbs2: I'd rather not pull the glass at this time, so I'll *try* and get the dash out from inside. So, I guess (since it'll be replaced with the new glass) I can cut up the rubber seal for bolt heat access?

    There are 5 or 6 screws right under that gasket that hold the top of the dash to the firewall, I guess it could be done, but without the windshield it would only take 2 minutes to remove them.

    Took a good close look at those screws and decided to go ahead and pull the front glass now (which took all of 30 minutes including trim removal without destruction). It took (or will take) much longer to remove all the putty "gunk" remaining on the sills. Anyhow, thanks for the advice.

    Yea, I don't think its possible to remove the dash without pulling the windshield or tearing up something. There's at least two screws you can't get to, even with the little wrench/phillips head tools.
