Alan:
Thank's for yours and other listers suggestions.
I partially used your suggestion and loosened the motor from it's
shelf. Then lossened the nut that holds the worm drive in place.
I was able to rotate the motor assemble slightly (but enough) to the
right to access the left front screw with a long 1/4" combination
wrench while wedged under the dash and got the screw loosened enough
to tun the dome. (I was able to get at the other three without a great
deal of problem)
Rotating the dome about 180 degree to the right solved the parking
problem.
This task has got to be right up there with changing the heater and
fresh air ducts with the shroud installed.
