Ranger 30 headliner
A few years ago, I found that the balsa core in the cabin top of my Ranger 30 had gotten wet and rotted. As part of the process of replacing the core from the underside, the soft liner had to come down (it was in bad shape anyway), and, as you say, it prevents access to deck hardware fasteners. I replaced it with a thin fiberglas panel material (can't remember the name, but bought it at Lowe's). I fastened ash furring strips to the overhead and then supported the fiberglas panels with teak strips. Looks good and easy to take down for access.Jim BordeauxRanger 30 NUANCE
