If you know what your doing, it comes out fairly easy, WITH the bar and not removing the windshield (idk who the **** come up with that idea). The assembly plant does not assemble dash pieces in the car. There is no need to remove the dash pad, the radio or even the glove box. Think dash assembly, not dash pieces.
You are only partially correct. In the case of 5th gen Camaro, the factory assembly process places and secures the dash assembly BEFORE the windshield is installed. Thus, the windshield must be removed or the bolts cut down to remove the dash assembly.
