Dash Pad Removal for 64 Polara

[Blosserde@xxxxxxx]

Hey guys,
Thanks for your help. I removed the glove box, but it was so old, it mostly 
 fell apart as I tried to remove it. 
45 years in the California desert had pretty well turned it to dust. Had it 
 been in good shape, I am not sure how I would have gotten it out anyway. 
Putting  a new one in will take some wisdom from someone who has done it 
before. It  almost looks like it was attached to the dash before the dash was  
installed???
 
I removed the bottom trim held on by 5 small screws. Then I removed the  
glove box. 
 
Had I been a bit smarter, I would have understood that scissor clips  
someone told me about are like the wire door clips. Duh! After I saw what  the 
clips were and sprayed them with WD-40, and was able to pull the dash pad  
from the metal dash with my fingers. It came out pretty easy. 
 
The bottom of the vinyl dash pad had what appeared to be a double sided  
tape that glued the vinyl to the dash. A small putty knife carefully pushed  
along the edge behind the vinyl loosened the vinyl from the tape and the dash 
 pad lifted off without any effort. 
 
I am passing this on with the hopes that it may help someone else. 
Gary thanks for reminding us to change the Subject line. It sure helps find 
 what your are looking for when looking for advice in old emails.
