74 Duster Dashboard Removal

Thanks for all your replies. I looked under the dash, noticed the bolts were from the top down. Wanted to be sure this was correct before I proceed. I need to remove the windshield anyway to fix/replace the gasket, the reason for the rusted floor pans. This is exciting, more to learn about my new 74 Duster! Thanks again.

Even if you have to remove the windshield anyhow, I'd put the bolts back in from the bottom, in case you need to yank it out again. I'm sure the only reason the factory did it the other way is that "it was easiest" and fastest on the assy line.
