    does anyone know to get the dash pad off

[rudyjrusa]

what type of car??  i took mine off a 74 charger.  had to remove all items underneath dash.

That goes for the 68-70 charger aswell. Cluster, radio, glove box....

1969 charger how does the dash pad come  off

[Hemidog]

The dash holds the pad with 6 speed nuts inside. Unless you're going to remove the windshield and dash, you'll have to remove the instrument cluster, glove box liner, heater panel and radio to access them.

Very strong elves or contortionist monkeys work well also.

You'll also need a long extention to get at them.It will be a pain with the dash still in the car,I think.

i dont see any bolts or nuts that hold on the dash pad would it be glued on?

[Hemidog]

sory for your luck. i battled this for days till i relized the glass had to go.  :RantExplode:there are six of those little plastic nuts that take like a half turn to get off. i tried over and over to get some tools in there but failed. even midget hands are no good. but once the glass is out its a walk in the park!

FWIW, it can be done with it in the car.  I have done a couple that way but everything in the dash was stripped out.  Even with that it was still a struggle so if you are going that far and there is any excuse to remove the windshield, that'd be a good time.

It helps if you have the new pad you want to replace it with.  Take it and hold it above the one inside the car.  That gives you a general idea where to put your extended socket.

This is what I pulled in order to do the pad.  Red circles are where the studs will be.  They're attached with the speed nuts.

I removed mine with the glass and wiring in place. It's not impossible.

Pulling the glass has nothing to do with with pulling the pad unless your wanting to pull the dash..
Just my opinion..
Best of luck,
