e30 Dash removal

[a2e30]

From what I've been reading, it seems impossible to get the dash out of an e30 without removing the front windshield. Im not at the car at the moment and haven't honestly had anytime to look at it to figure it out. Hoping that you guys can point me in the right direction.
Thanks.

Pulling a dash is a 30 minute job, no windshield removal required. Putting it back in is a whole bunch slower, but still not that big a job.

One handy trick for taking apart stuff you can't see is www.realoem.com

You can find the specific thing you are working on and see an "exploded" diagram, sometimes it helps.

Best of luck, and if you get stuck, post some pics, R3V will help.

I pulled a dash from the junkyard recently and it was really easy. This will help you.

This! I also picked up a dash from the junk yard, 30min to remove (maybe 45min cause i cut my finger and had to stop for a bit) but was pretty simple. Not very bolts hold it on. The wires get in the way so you need to feed them out and then just pull out!
