I have a loose part under the top of the dash in the left corner area (from behind the wheel). Whatever part is loose it makes a noise as if it was pivoting and one end is not connected (speculating). It acts up big time on bumpy roads. I thought I would be able to look up from the floor and see what is going on but no luck unless I start taking things apart. To get in the suspect area I am wondering on the best approach. My Hanyes manual says how to take off the top of the dash and I'm willing to try this if someone confirms it is the only way. I was wondering if it is easier to take out the instrument panel to get access to the loose hardware. I've also got instructions on getting to the firewall bolts under the wipers if that may be may problem. I'd apprecate any suggestions on the best place to start. Perhaps others have had this noise problem and know the best fix. The car has a stick shift if that makes a difference. Thanks.
