'Tis ok, I'll figure it out when I remove the dash. I wanted that information here for anyone else who might be experiencing it, or in the future.

Just to follow on from JBT said. If you notice a small bump forming on the upper dash surface above the glove box try the following;

1. remove glove box as per above instructions.
2. Look up under dash for a small plastic bracket connecting the underside of the dash to a metal frame
3. Remove the screw connecting the bracket to the underside of the dash

I chose to remove the bracket as two of my previous MX-5s suffered from the dash crack.
