I've searched the site for information on how the handrails are attached to the cabin top. I need to refinish them and rebedding them at the same time looks like a good idea on a 25 year-old.
As best I can tell, they are screwed to the deck, not thru-bolted. Can someone confirm this? When I re-install, it seems like thrubolting would be preferable other than having to remove the headliner and the fact that the fiberglass headliner in the head cannot be removed.
I like the idea of matching the bolts up with handrails installed on the inside but I haven't evaluated whether that makes sense placement-wise. Not crazy about drilling holes in the head head liner for bolt access then plugging the holes on the inside. I wonder if I could set a t-nut into a hole from the top and pour epoxy around it to set it in place.
Any thing I need to watch out for if I decide to remove the headliner? Any comments and suggestions or updates appreciated.
Thanks.
