Hey all, this weekend the 3rd of my genoa track endcaps broke and it was the port-aft cap. After tinkering around the handrail and cramped space over the stove I managed to get the bolt out and back in with the new cap. I wanted to replace the front one too but when I tried to find the bolt I noticed it was even more accessible with the fiberglass cutout not even going up to the nut. Has anyone replaced this and how is it best to access these nuts between the layers when they are in hard to reach locations like this ?

thanks !

The best thing I could suggest is to use a hole saw to cut an opening in the head liner at the bolt location. Use a size that can be plugged afterward with a plastic cap
