I recently spent some time deciding whether pulling the dash out was
worthwhile to accomplish some other things. It appeared to me that the top
portion of the dash does separate, but that getting to all the bolt
locations might be impossible without--you guessed it--removing the entire
dash. I decided to leave the whole thing alone.

By the way, one of the issues I found with removing the dash was that it
required drilling out two shear bolts. Have you ever removed a dash before?
Is there any way around this? If it is necessary, what are my options for
reassemby? It looks like a pretty big mess.
