140FHC - Taking out the dashboard

Hi Listers
In order to replace the windscreen on my FHC140, I need to free (to take out?) the dashboard. Where are located the screws? Any clue or advice?
Many thanks in advance

Hi Herve,

The dashboard is held by 2 metal brackets, one on each side of the instrument panel opening. Each bracket is attached to the body by 2 bolts. Also, there are small tabs at both door openings that the plywood dashboard panels rest on, and there is probably a small wood screw holding the dashboard panels to the tabs.

Herve,

I don’t understand why you need to do anything to the dash to replace the windscreen. The outer screen pillar cappings and the screen rail casing have to be removed and also the centre pillar. Surely none of this requires anything to be done to the dash. The procedure is covered in the shop manual on page N36 and looking at my car seems quite straightforward.

Hello Eric

Many thanks in advance.

Herve,

Have PM’d you
