Dash Pad Removal

[71newp]

Hello,

n I will be removing a dash pad from a 1976 Cordoba. Is it straight forward or are there any tricks or things to avoid? Do I need to remove any of the fake wood trim to get at screws or ???? Thank you in advance.

The hardest part might be getting to the screws that hold the metal cover between the pad and the windshield if the glass is in. You'll also have to pull the gauge cluster loose or out.
I don't know if the FSM shows a good picture of those details?
I can't find a good picture of just a dash pad to show the screw holes and I'm 6000 miles from home so I can't just go out to my parts stack and check.
