Any tips on how to remove Dash

[Titan the Robot]

Hi, I have a very annoying squeak that seems to be coming from somewhere behind the centre of the dash board but
before I tackle this job I thought it might be an idea to ask for a few tips on removing it.
Can anyone help?

Are you 100% sure it is coming from behind the dash? I had a squeak from middle dash top that turned out to be the bonnet rubbing on the highest point of the scuttle panel (actually I had another squeak from the same problem in the corner by the driver's A pillar as well )

Solved with my great DIY skills by putting a slither of sticky backed foam where it touched (as a temp job, but been there for 2 years lol)

When I first got my Cerbera from new the dash squeeked and to get rid of it I sprayed a small amount of silicon spray along the join between the too halves of the dash, 11 years on and it's still ok.

Thanks for your reply, after nearly taking the whole dash out (not fun) I got a flexible tube about 2 ft long and used it as a stethoscope to pin point the squeak by banging the steering wheel. It turns out there was a mounting from the roll cage going across the dash to the tunnel
no doubt connecting through to chassis underneath the car, it was this that had become a bit loose.
My car is now squeak free and is like a new car again.
