Thanks, but I need to remove the entire dash skin (instrument panel 04320) in the pictures not just the pad or glovebox.

Yo,

By "remove the skin" do you mean remove  the outer covering from the structure of the dash ? If im not mistaken its all one piece that doesnt come apart. I have seen many dash assemblies removed from these late model Broncos but have never seen one that the outer surface could be replaced except as a whole unit.

Yes the outer covering.  It does come loose from it's inner structure in these.  I took mine off and one in a junkyard.  In the junkyard I removed the entire unit dash skin and structure as one piece.  Most people say that is easier to remove as a unit, but I didn't think so.  Too many wires involved.
