I haven't done one, but having just changed a whole heater box and having the dash out, I don't see how you could do it really, without having the dash out. You need to deal with wiper linkage and all that. Personally, I'd cut the section I need out of a donor vanagon body and graft that in. It's a welded in part of course. Darn big job, what's wrong with yours ? Rust at the base of the windshield ? And does it have to look 1000 % aesthetically perfect as new, Or just work properly and look decent and not leak etc ? I have a vanagon parts donor body that I cut panels out of when I need them. Scott www.turbovans.com

Has anyone replaced the front upper body panel on a vanagon? The one between the upper grill and lower windshield. I need to replace one and was wondering how difficult it is. I assume the windshield will have to be removed, anything else? What about the dash?
