I'm about to start stripping my interior and will have to get the dash out for some metal repairs.
Is there any sort of diy or guide?

Hi,
I have instructions for removal of a 2000cs dash if you would like.
Send me your full address and I will send you a copy tomorrow.

Hardest part are the two or three screws by the windshield. Either risk damaging the nla windshield gasket when pulling the glass, or be prepared to get into some weird positions to reverse screw out those screws. I followed the ladder. Took about 2 hours.
I highly recommend having a blue book, or take lots of pictures

I'm going to have to take the windshield out anyways.
I'll try to remember to take pictures. That's not my strong suit

Doing the same in November, yes please take photos of at least where the screws are if it's not obvious

Can anybody post a pic of the clips or retainers or brackets that the 10mm bolts go into that fasten the dashboard shelf to body?

Michael Thomson wrote a terrific detailed description of this (with photos).
Rob Siegel, The Hack Mechanic, wrote a good description as well.
I've added a few details in other threads, docs.

EDIT: Sorry, missed the point about this being an E3 dash question...
