Pulling dash on CR

[C5GTO]

Pulling the dash on a CR isn't all that hard, IF you know where all the fasteners are at. You'll need to drop the steering shaft (sometimes a trick in itself) and remove the glove box (if it has one). There should be sheet metal screws fastening the flange that runs across the top of the dash to the cowl brace. These screws can be hard to see/find as you'll be doing contortions and looking upward into a dark place or just feeling for screw heads with your fingers. The screw heads can be hard to feel if the dash covering wraps over the flange. Depending on the dash (if it's the one that extends down to the tunnel in the middle) there's also likely fasteners to some angle brackets there as well.

I had to pull the dash on mine recently for much the same reason. Even though I built the car 20 years ago, I had trouble finding all the screws on the flange and ended up ripping a couple through the fiberglass flange. It's not a big deal as the dash now has two fewer fasteners and it's staying in place fine.

I hope this helps.
