I spent the weekend getting my new 914rubber dash top vinyl in. I'm using the early brickmold pattern instead of smooth. i didn't like the previous smooth; it was too shiny.

So vinyl is down and defroster vents are in. Now I'm trying to line up and get the dash on. It clips in the holes but.....

where do i access the bottom of the plastic bolts so I can tighten the dash down so there's no gap? It seems it was never "bolted".

Find a small agile German with long narrow fingers. This is the devil's work. As mentioned earlier, an assortment of short, stubby 1/4" ratchet wrenches, flexible connectors, short and long sockets and extensions will help. Finally gave up on a couple of the nuts in the middle of my re-install and called my wife down to the shop to get them started. Have a picture somewhere of her laying on her back in a mostly stripped interior staring upward under the dash while glaring at me. Another bit of family bonding over the -6.
