Gap Between Dash and Windscreen

Post by SeldomSeen »

The dash on my '69 spider has a pretty nasty gap between it and the windscreen. Is there a molding that should cover that area?

there is no molding. you can loosen the dash and push it back to get rid of the gap. There are 2 wing nuts that hold the back of the dash. can get access from the underside. one is located behind the left rear corner of the glove box. some boxes have a cut out so you can get to it. There is a 2nd behind the instrument cluster.

Great! I'll get under there tomorrow and give it a go. Thanks much.

What are friends for? :D Sometimes I just don't know what I'm going to do with it but now that top-down weather is here, I might as well have some fun with it.
