do i have to remove the windshield on my 71 to get the dash off?

So, you scrap maybe six or seven screws and don't have to take out the windshield? Sounds like a no brainer to me. I bet it holds just as well screwing in new ones from the bottom too. Good post houdini!! Wait a minute......Are they bolts or screws? How do you get the new ones in if they are bolts?
