Xtreme scuttle / dash moulding

[Simon Raglione-Hall]

I am just in the middle of having an "is it really supposed to be like this?" moment.
I am just trying to change my wing mirrors and at the same time sort a Rattle.
In order to get the nuts off the rear of the mirrors I need to get behind the dash. In order to get behind the dash the whole moulding has to come out. In order to get the moulding out you have to remove the column shroud, stalks and steering wheel.
Even then all the wiring looks like it will have to be pulled about to get my hand in there.
am I missing a trick?
There are only actually 4 fasteners holding this whole moulding in place. 2 in the scuttle area and 2 on the dash rail of the chassis across the cockpit. When you go over bumps, it rattles about and bounces a bit at the rear like it should be screwed down more?

I just tilt the scuttle up to get access rather than remove.

on my red extreme the scuttle was held down in 3 places. engine bay middle and down each side.

on the v8 there are 2 more on the inside of the car,just in toward the foot wells, but I had them removed as I was lifting the dash so much! no rattles.

Mine was two bolts either side in the engine bay and two self tappers under dash. Thing my mirrors are also captive.
Wiring not really a problem, usually plenty of slack to tiltso you can access most things. Usually about a 20 minute job to lift/ tilt scuttle.
