You can't remove the dash or install the new one unless the windshield is uninstalled.

When you remove the windshield, leave your trim in place. Then cut it out by making a V around it. By doing this, the trim will be guaranteed not to be warped and you can resell it.

When removing/installing the dash, as said before, be patient. I only had to pull my clock and gas gauge. I pulled the glove box, but didn't need to.

Also, when installing the windshield, I ran my string 3 times around the windshield that way if I didn't get it seated completely the first time around, I had two more chances before having to pull the windshield out of the car and restring it.

Also, have some wooden wedges laying around. After the windshield is installed, you can use them to push the gasket out toward the upper corners of the windshield frame by slightly bending the windshield trim.
