Rebedding stanchions on a Capri 26

I have a leak at a stanchion base. It is the stanchion that also houses the water tank vent. Apparently this stanchion has been rebedded before since part of the headliner is cut away to access the nuts on the underside of the stanchion base. The cutting away of the headliner was somewhat of a hack job. This is the only stanchion that has been worked on previously but I’d bet that all the stanchions are due for maintenance. Can anyone describe how you accessed the nuts on stanchions you worked on? Did you just leave the nuts exposed or did you make some kind of cover to make the headliner look whole again?
Thanks for any ideas.
