I was able to remove, recover and reinstall my upper dash pad without removing the windshield. Didn't even think of doing that. Of course I don't have a wooden dash panel in the way - just an open parcel shelf and firewall cards as Sir Alex intended.
.

Looking good = Just FYI
I THINK you have to pull the windshield to properly get the upper dash pad in place. (studs from the pad push down into the upper rail ) and with the windshield and gasket in place theres no room...
Others may be able to confirm this im running on 80% experience.. I tried pulling an upper dash pad from my own car and it wouldnt come.. On another car pulled dash pad out after the windshield was out = was easy.
Not the end of the world but be prepared for that order of operations!

I did a lot of work to put back the original dash in my car that the PO had ripped out (I guess he was going for the classic look). To my surprise I see a big hole at the top which requires a upper dash pad from what I was told. If anyone has one let me know....
