I wish to introduce myself as a new owner of a Morgan 4 1980. I have tried to remove my dashboard after removing steering wheel, shroud behind boss, screws holding shelf for glove compartment and the wood screws at the side tips of dash. It still cannot get off at the top. Are there any screws holding it at the top?

It sounds as if you have removed all of the fixing elements, so it maybe the problem of sticksion, if that's the case just give it a firm yank
PS I think you maybe loitering in the wrong forum area

There may be one or two screws high up under the scuttle.

That was my experience as well I just had to keep plucking up the courage to give it a firmer yank each time after a few deep breaths and double checking that I had removed every fastening It came free eventually without any damage but it was quite a firm yank On the Imperial Sticksion Yank scale of 1 to 12, it was a 10

Thank you all for your hints. As regards loitering in the wrong forum area, can you suggest which is the right one for future

Thank you all for your hints. As regards loitering in the wrong forum area, can you suggest which is the right one for future You posted your question in "Vehicle Talk - Non-Morgan". As it's a question about maintenance on a trad Morgan, you might have been better off posting it in "Traditional Morgans" or ideally "Maintenance and Servicing". It makes it easier for others to spot what the post might be about and respond to it. Not everyone reads every post in every forum. HTH
