...I replaced my dash a couple of weeks ago, so maybe I have some experience to share with you: the junkyarder gave me a dash top, a wood dash, a leather shifter boot, a leather steering wheel and a EDU (the reason for I was there, mine was shot) for just 40 euros! I just couldn't pass over this one...
Imagine my excitaction while I was removing that wood dash from that 92, it was my first time I had to do such a task but in twenty minuts it was out!
Well, there are two torx screws on the dash you didn't mentioned, they are behind two plastic covers, one per side of the steering wheel. The covers are one between the seat heater switches and the cabin air sensor, and one in the foglight-dimmer switch cluster.
Plus, there are other two screws behind the radio-ashtray zone, and one in front of the shifter, just under the shifter boot (you have to remove it to reach the screw).
There's one more screw, but I can't rememver if it's involved in the dash too, I had to remove anyway because I was replacing the dashtop too, it's over the instrument cluster, in the right side, vertical axis. I think it's the worst screw to reach, in a dash top removal. It's not present in all the model years, in my '87 there wasn't, but in a '89 and in a '92 it was there.
The most difficult part of the task was unlocking the air vents: better to pull them away with the dash, and to separate air vent and dash later.
