2003 Sundancer 260 Sun Seat Stuck... Need Some Guidance

[Stagger]

I have a 03' Sundancer 260, and the folding seat that folds into a sun bed is stuck. And its really stuck, I have messed with it for hours and I cant get it to budge at all. I need to take the seat apart, and to do that I need to access the screws that are under the little piece of cushion shown in the pic. It is epoxied on, and it will be easy enough to cut out, but does anyone know what kind of epoxy I should use when Im putting it back together? Also I was wondering if anyone had a link for where I could get a new glider rail for the seat... It works kind of like a drawer and slides in and out on a rail, if anyone has any advice I would be grateful. Thank You!

Tha piece is through bolted - disassemble the mid cabin to get to it. Or cut a hole and then fix the hole with an access plate.

Have you tried shooting some PB Blaster in at the rail (get it everywhere you can) a couple times a day for a few days? You might get lucky. Unless the rail is damaged, you should be able to clean it up and grease it.

Thank you! Do you know what kind of caulk/adhesive is around the outside of that piece sealing it? How hard is that bolt to get to, I am a brand new boat owner and dont have any experience in this. Is the aft/ mid cabin liner glued on, or does is it clipped in? I have tried PB Blaster, i believe there is a screw or some kind of obstruction in the way. This is 100% my fault, It worked fine and then it was stuck down and I had a bunch of people coming on the boat and needed the seating, instead of fixing it while it was down where it probably would have been easier to resolve the problem, i forced it up. And it was very very hard to get back upright. Now it wont budge in the slightest. But I really enjoyed it when I used to be able to fold it down. Something is blocking its path in that rail system, or there is a bend.
