how do i take the dash apart?!!? AHHHHHH

I dont have a pic to provide but that center bezel has round plastic anchors poked through holes cut in the sheet metal. Those have speedy nuts or stamped tin thread cutting nuts. Cadium plated 7/16 or 1/2 hex. To find one or more with the threads stripped in common. Renove those that will back off then use some prying force between the bezel and the sheet metal to persuade the stubborn ones to back off.
It is possible to remove the dash without removing the windshield but it aint easy.
You would need to cut away the fasteners with a die grinder and replace with new.
those would be inverted from their original assembly method.
