Loose Dash

I own a 95 f150 xlt standard cab/bed. The passenger side of the dashboard appeares to have come loose. I have taken the glove box out to see if ican see the bolts/screws, but i see nothing.... any help would be appreciated

Thanks
chris

If you look between the dash and the door, just above the kick panel, you will see where it is broke. Actually if you remove the pass side kick panel you will see the dash mount and where it is broke.

Ford sells a repair kit for this but I am not sure of the part#. Someone else may have it

You can make a bracket out of a angle bracket. I took a 4 inch bracket and twisted one end. Then used the old screw holes. It took under a half hour. Good Luck

The same thing happened to my 92. I just made a bracket and bolted it in. The rest of the truck may fall off but the dash isn't moving now. It is a pretty simple fix and once you take off the plastic cover on the side you will see what it is.

I repaired mine with some industrial adhesive about 4 years ago on my GEN 1 L. I've taken many passes down the drag strip and it has held up great with no signs of cracking.
I aligned the dash with a floor jack and some blocks, applied the "glue", and let it cure for 5 hours.
