Hi Stefan, I didn't notice this topic before. I just awnsered alsmost all your questions 1 topic above this.
Windscreen can be left in. From the topic from Priest008:

Then the dashboard. In the far corners there are two nuts, one at each side. It is a hassle to reach those, since you go thru the steel das carrier, I believe. You need to use a 12mm bit, odd size. Of those are removed, you gently but sure lift the dash so the pins clear the holes (where the nuts are removed). In the middle of the dash, up against the windscreen, are two clamps in a bracket. That should pop out with some help.
Looking at other topics is very helpfull. See this pic from mine. See the two brackets in the middle and the two in de corners, up against the windowseal?
