Default 85 C4 Dash pad Removal

Trying to remove the dash pad on my 85... I've got an 86 and an 86 Service manual but where the manual says to remove the two screws that are in the defrost vents there aren't any on the 85... I can see them on my 86 but they are not there on the 85. the dash pad will not come out and it acts like it's because of those two screws that I can't see.

Anyone know the trick here?

Thanks in advance,

Robert

My 85 has screws, long ones, in the dash vent. Bet yours does too.

Are they visable through the windshield? If I look on my 86 I see them... on the 85 there are two dimples where there are screws on the 86. I thought about cutting there but hate to if they aren't really there because my dash pad is perfect.

It might just be the spring clips are holding on real hard.

Default 85 dash board

I just finished putting mine back together after doing the heater core. My 85 has those 2 screws either side of the dashboard vent. I used those 2 screws somewhere else and I sure as hell. Was not going to take everything apart again!!!

Anyone know of a source for those 2 screws?
