Its not necessary to remove the windshield. It makes it easier but not required. You will need to get one of those 90deg angled phillips screwdrivers, or a 1/4 drive rachet with a short bit on a 1/4 socket.

Whatever you use, be careful. You can crack the windshiled if you get to aggressive with a tool and smack the glass.

Speaking of removal - if you want to remove just the front plastic bezel piece on an 86 XT, is that as equal of a pain in the butt too?

 

The trim piece around the radio and inst panel? Yeah, its a pain. You need to remove the little rectangular piece of plastic next to the clock/trip computer. Theres a screw in there, remove it. You practically need to remove the radio and eq to remove the piece. I think theres two screws on the very bottom under the radio that holds the trim. I think the rest of it, around the panel, just snaps in. But its usually really brittle, so be easy with it.

I believe there's a screw on the bottom left corner also. Been awhile, memory is a bit fuzzy.

I'm not too worried about breaking the piece, as I have a replacement I'm planning on putting in (the current one is cracked/broken anyway). I'll check around for those screws you mentioned, since they're probably pretty-well camouflaged. I guess when those engineers were working on making everything aesthetically tight, they forgot "easy access". :lol:
