Experience With Dash Installation in '88 Cab?
Anyone ever removed and installed a dash in an '88 Cabriolet? Mine's cracked and is ready for replacement. I hear the windshield doesn't have to be removed.
Any tricks to the removal or is it pretty straightforward? |

I read somewhere that when they went with the big vent dash windshield removal was not required. Again this is just hearsay, so I may be incorrect.

there is no reason whatsoever to pull the windshield on the newer dashes. I know, i just replaced mine. If you completely pull out the blower motor, and vents, you can get to all of the nuts easily. It helps too to pull the gauges.
