I think you are talking about the dash pad - the soft vinyl part on the top of the dash. It's a TRICKY one at first glance, but EASY!!!! There are like 4 - 5 bolts that you can see to take off on the front - I'm sure you have those off. And it probably seems like it's almost off - but it's not. Look on the far left and far right of the windshield on the inside, just below where the windshield meets the frame of the Jeep (on the outside, it will be right where the hinges are I think). You'll see a knob that looks like what you'd turn an oven on with. Those are screws. Remove those screws and fold your windshield down. CAREFUL - make sure your top is off or loose enough to get the windshield down. If you have a hard top, you might need a buddy to lift it up while you fold, or just take it off. Also, if your windshield hasn't been down in a while, it might need a squirt of WD-40 and a little TLC to fold down. Mine (I have an 84 too0 was surprisingly easy to get down!) Behind the windshield, kinda on the back of the firewall area, you'll see a few more screws that hold the pad, just like on the inside…sorry, I don't remember how many…I took my dash off last weekend and didn't count! Happy restoration!
