Dash Mounting Ideas

yeah I had my dash out last winter and was thinking the same thing it is really nice just taking those 5 bolts out and teetering it back and being able to see in there. I was thinking about putting the bolts in from behind? May be cutting them a little short and making them a little blunt so they don't work their way into the seal? I'm sorry I don't have experience for this but it certainly has crossed my mind also.
