If anyone wants to see a video of the dash going back in, I posted one on youtube a while ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4AglfgB7DA It's a time-lapse of the whole process, so definitely not instructional like Neil's, but maybe worth a look if you will be doing the procedure. I had been dreading it for a long time, but it turned out to be far easier than I expected! As you can see, the dashboard goes right back into place and then you spend an hour reconnecting all the wires, vent hoses, etc. Two tips: remove the center defroster vents before you reinstall - makes seating the dash way easier, and be sure the steering wheel is unlocked otherwise you might wonder why the heck you can't get the bracket to line up... duh!
