If you plan on doing this or even if having it done check for other common failure item that require dash removal and do them while you are in there.
I once had to have my Explorer dash out and had my indy pull the heater core and replace it just in case. He noticed it had possible future failure points once he had the core out and it would have been only a matter of time until I was paying for the 10 hour R/R for the dash again.
