i still cant figure out how to
I still can't figure out how to remove my 1992 camaro dash pad. I removed the six or so bolts in the front.. but I can't find whatever else it is that's holding it in. Thanks in advance.

The dash pad or the entire dash? zThe dash pad has 4 of the screws in the defroster vents, and about 6 or 7under the front edge of the dash.

Okay i'll check it out when I get off work. Are they under the dash pad or can I get to them from the top? I'll post later if I find them or not lol

Re: i still cant figure out how to
So I just removed the six screws along the front lip, and it will only lift up a very little bit and i cant even fit my hand under it. and when I looked in, I could see a few screws along the length of the pad near the windshield.. They wear at the end of a brace about 6 or so inches. I don't know if thats them or not.. But I couldn't see anything else.. I guess I'll just have to drop the whole friggin dash lol

It really is as simple as it sounds. The 6 screws under the edge and the 4 in the defroster vent. Take them out and pull out the dash pad. That's it!

Look at the defroster vents through the windshield. There are 2 screws in each vent. You access them form the top of the dashpad. Look at this picture and you can see the screw holes in the vents.

Re: i still cant figure out how to
I literally did this in 5mins yesterday while working on installing gauges...
The ones you are missing are the 4 at the very front of the dashpad where the windshield meets it, in the defrost vents.

Re: i still cant figure out how to
Ah thanks for the pic scottmoyer. The guy before me must have installed an after market dash pad orsomething. I don't even have those holes in mine at all. I'll try to post a pic tomorrow.. They are the screws i found when I barely lifted the front up, but its almost impossible to get to.. I guess I'll have to mark as close to where they are as I can and drill holes in the top to get to them..
