A motor vehicle having an instrument panel that is spaced rearward away from a bottom end of a windscreen so that it is less likely to be damaged in the event of a frontal impact. A cover is attached to vehicle body structure adjacent to the bottom end of the windscreen to cover the gap produced by spacing the instrument panel from the bottom of the windscreen. The cover overlies an upper surface of the instrument panel and slides rearward over the upper surface when the bottom end of the windscreen moves rearward into the crush space during a collision.
