Broken Dash pod fix?
I have a '90 GT vert and a few months ago had to do some dash work, now both screws on the upper pod area have broken that come down from the top, does any one have a fix for this problem?

That's a tough one, as you really can't drill them out. Assuming you mean the heads of the screws broke off leaving the threads below and nothing to grab on to. Just curious, were they THAT tight ?
This may by a little off the wall, down and dirty, backwoods repair. But I just put new carpeting in our house using 2 sided carpet tape. That stuff is super sticky and very strong. A little piece of that under the top will hold if your just worried about looks and rattles. It comes off leaving no residue/ sticky crap behind also.
Just an idea, but I don't know what that Texas heat will do to it lol.

No the screws did not break off, the tabs on the dash that the screws go into broke off, so the top of the pod has no way to secure it down now, there are little metal clips that slide in the plastic part of the dash, the whole tab broke off. I will see of I can find a good place for the carpet tape, surprising enough the dash does not really rattle, but it does shake a little bit driving down the road.
