Cabin top liner

[keith w]

Looking to change cabin top winches. To gain access I need to take the cabin liner down in the aft birth and galley.
Has anyone removed the liner and what was it like to put back?

The liner is held in place by an edge piece that has a clamping effect on the material. The material is pressed up into the clamping channel. The easiest way to remove it is to use a flat putty knife and slide it into the channel where the material is. Start at a corner and slowly work the material out as you gently separate the clamping channel with a sideways pry. I use a putty knife that is about 3" wide and the edge has been rounded as to not cut the material.

To re-install use the same putty knife and press the material up into the channel. once you get a feeling of where to contact the material with the putty knife as you press it into the channel it will re-install quickly and at the correct tension.

Just go slow.

instruction from Hunter Marine was to use a CD disk. my problem is I couldn't get the disk within the channel and the surface of the liner started peeling. tried with screw drivers ... and that's where holes starts to appear!
