- Has anybody pulled/replaced the dashboard on a '69 (or later) Spridget? On a scale of 1-10, how big of a pain in the posterior is it? Mine is severely cracked and split, and the "glue-on" covers avai

- It is PITA, but not impossible. If you have a radio console, remove it. There are straps along the bottom that are screwed to the firewall, remove them. Remove the flexible defrost hoses. Undo the he
