Hey guys,
I'm trying to remove the backrest for the bow seating in the SAN for cleaning and speaker replacement. I did some research over on PN on the process before attempting removal last night. I will post there also, but thought someone here may know. I have removed 2 x screws on the port side, another 2 x screws in front of the driver, and 1 double nut arrangement at the front. I have felt around as much as I can reach behind the cup holders but there are no fixings here (except for the grab rail). I understand that you have to lift it at the cabin end to pop it out of the locating clips.? I lifted it as much as I dared last night but it wouldn't budge.? I don't think I missed any screws, but I will double check - it's pretty busy with wires, ducts, and the subwoofer behind the drivers kick pannel. Thoughts.? |

Ok so I had another quick look last night, but it was too dark to really get into it.
Seems that there is 2 more screws on the port side that are behind the factory amp mounting board. I can't see any way to get to these.? Any ideas.? Also seems that there is another (3rd) screw on the starbord (driver) side. I haven't been able to find / get to this screw yet do to all the wires / ducts, and the factory subwoofer. Dave, SAN = Super Air Nautique. |

Chop,
I had my 2002 bow pad out this winter. I think you are missing 2 studs with nuts aft of the grab rails, near the speakers. I can't remember if they are fore or aft of the speakers though. To recap, to the best of my memory - 3 qty 1/4-20 studs with nuts and fender washers and 4 screws. You then lift in the port and starboard corners to detach from the locating clips. Then lift the bow section straight up. Should come out pretty easily. |

I've checked that area pretty well I thought. I did read that there was some stud / nut fasteners around the cup holder area.
for the life of me I can't find them. Back to the shed.! |
