Default Top Dash Removal


I recently totaled my Mustang so I'm stripping it to sell parts before I scrap the body. I've gotten everything I want out except the last largest piece of the black trim/dash.

I got out every visible (to me) bolts and screws I could and the whole piece is loose at both ends, but something is holding it in the middle. I searched for half an hour and tried lots of pulling and have gotten nowhere.

Anyone that's stripped this year before, any idea what last few bolts I'm missing in the center?

Thanks in advance

http://iihs.net/fsm/?d=461&f=Instrument%20Panel.pdf or somewhere in here is how to do it. Never done it myself. I've heard there are two bolts underneath that hold it in the center and one on either end but I've never seen one taken off so I can't confirm that.

Actually, looks like the frame and top are all one piece.

I did this a few months ago, so I might miss a few things but lets see. There's two bolts on each side by the doors, a single bolt in the driver side footwell to the left mounting to the chassis of the car. YOu need to also disconnect the harness there as well. Then you disconnect the one bolt on the steering column, and the column shaft should separate into two parts. Then while ur still underneath in the footwell, towards the right side of the footwell there should be 2 more bolds going to around the transmission tunnel. and on the other side in the passenger footwell I believe there's one bolt to the transmission tunnel.
