'71 RR dash removal help

Hello all, I'm trying to get my dash out and it seems to be stuck. I've removed the bolts at the left and right sides, the steering column is out, and it appears all of the bolts on the bottom have been removed (got the car this way). Also, the speaker grill screws are removed. It seems that the dash is hung up at the top near the windshield. Are there any bolts behind the glove box? The lock is broken on the door so, I will have to figure out a way to get it open. Also, I can't get the gauge cluster out for the life of me. It seems to be hung up at the top left.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

If memory serves me right. Under the speaker grill there are screws right up next to the windshield. Also you have to shake it up and down a little.Be very careful with the instrument panel, it is very easy to break stuff, and only take it out with the dash down.I broke the housing for the heater control pnl trying to do mine. And that is a one year only item, very hard to find a nice one.

Yes, 71bird is correct - there are 4 bolts/screws right up next to the windshield that need to come out.
Here are previous posts on removing the dash frame and rallye dash portion also.
