Upper Dash Face replacement Options

[Speedmster]

We have been freshing up dads 914-6 (#1006). Had some paint work done and several other touch ups here and there.

We have the windshield out because the seal was dried up and only sealing 2/3rds the way around. With the windshield out we decided to replace the cracked dash pad and to replace the upper dash face (I think that is what it is called). My question is can the upper dash face be replaced with the windshield out without dropping the dash itself? If so, how do you recommend getting the forward edge of the material around and under the lip?

The one thing I found that I used a foam under the vinyl that is the same thickness as original or use the original.
What I found was anything thicker than original really sticks out and looks puffed up and odd looking.

That is interesting. The padding I have is thicker. The original has already been removed and can't be reused. I do have a few pieces around and will find a suitable replacement.

Thanks of the heads up.
