rattle in the dash of 312
 

I've just bought my first Formula...(98 312) and have a rattle in the dash that is driving me nuts. Turns out the entire cockpit dash/helm is loose where it connects to the deck just under where the winshield is. I'm pretty sure I just need to remove the winshield frame and re-secure the 2. (You can see screws every foot through the glass along the joint, most of which have worked loose). Anyone do this before, anything I need to know before I start? Looks easy, but thought I'd ask first.

Here are the after pics.....only ran the boat twice so far, but seems to have worked.
PM (or call 804-914-2628) me if you have any questions. I was able to see (and feel) the separation just inside the base of the windshield.
