OK, I can take off the instrument binnacle, but when it comes to the metal dashboard, I don't know how it comes off.

I wish to do some sound proofing behind there this summer.
My doka came with NO sound proofing whatsoever.

So how is it done?

This is a good start on explaining the process:

Thanks Dogpilot

That led to another link:

Shows the insulation that I would like to do!

At least when I tap the sheet metal below the windshield it no longer resonates as loudly. It's now more of a 'thunk' than a 'tink' with an echo. I used a roll of asphalt-based aluminium backed self-adhesive product available at your local home improvement mega-center.

Exactly what I am planning to do!
