The proper way is to remove the windshield, then the dash. If you leave the windshield in, the corners of top of the dash that wrap around fwd of the A-pillars are easily damaged (bent, cracked). Plus, there is a fabric piece on the front of the dash that gets under the windshield seal.
As I said earlier, it's pretty nice with a formed plastic cap over the dash. The edge of the cap is under the dash top roll, virtually invisible. If you have the wood trim the horizontal edge of the cover abuts the top of the trim.
It's a case of getting 95% of the way with 10% of the effort....
I've got a perfect dash for my 250C, but the cap looks so good, it's not worth the effort to swap out the dash. If this car is ever re-restored, I'll go to the effort to swap dashes...
