04 23lsv front bow seat back removal

[chet85]

Hey guys looking for some help. I'm trying to remove the front bow seat back, can someone give me some hints on how this is done?

Mine was just held on with 2 lag bots and a couple metal tabs. I'll try to dig up a pic... through one of the small holes up top on each side.

What is the black bag?

I had two bolts with screws into the nose, one on each side, and two on each side thru under the dash board and the observer compartment. Then I squeezed the whole piece to make the triangle smaller and pulled the whole bow trim out at once lifting the back first, with the bolts into the nose coming out last

What is the black bag?

About 125lbs of sand. Triple construction grade bagged Settles the bow down.

Lots of gel cracks. Does anyone know if Malibu has changed their camforing regament when building these things? I seem to see a lot of gel cracks like this.

I think what you're seeing and thinking are cracks are really just crude sharpie lines for where to drill. Although not chamfered correctly, or at all, there are no spider cracks, there's very little pressure on the gel side when the interior is installed.
