Hi all,
we have a 2004 searay 390 and we have corrosion around the vent in the center windshield. We are attempting to remove Were t so it can be repaired. We have the glass sliding up out of the track but now we are hitting the window frame against the roof support bars.
We have the top of the sport bars loose but can't find the lower bolts under the headliner on the inside. Any idea where these are, or how to properly remove the cabin headliner without damaging it?
And help is great, thanks 16191840849597838458177207120644.jpg

That ceiling panel is held in by fasteners called Christmas Trees. So you grab a corner and pull down but before you do that is it worth it for a little corrosion? Also buy new fasteners because the old ones are supposed to be reusable but really aren't.
 
Thanks! We've decided to go another route than tear apart the interior. Short story is we removed the windshield, repaired it and have it reinstalled now.
Everything else on the boat has been gone over and repaired or replaced, this was one of the last remaining items needing attention, and one of the most obvious.
Thanks again for the reply and info.
