Hello All,
I have a Coronet that has a ripped starboard aft seat (behind the sink) that I want to have the upholstery replaced on. It was easy enough to find the screws on the leading edge of the cushion, but it was still being held down from somewhere underneath. I thought unzipping the cover would give me access to bolts under the cushion, and nothing there either. After removing the cushion material I found a grey plastic plate affixed to the hatch. Also, In the process of opening the zipper, the pull mechanisim turned to dust, so now my seat is a total mess. I lifted the hatch looking for access from underneath and everything is covered by the engine room insulation. Can anyone verify that I should be cutting a small opening into the inslation to gain access to the seat bottom?
Thank you in advance for the help.
