Greetings,
I have a 2004 4200 Open and have discolored water dripping through the ceiling panel. There are signs the seal in the hatch is leaking, but I'm having difficulty removing the ceiling board to fully ascertain the damage and to dry out the ceiling boards/replace vinyl. It seems the screen/sunshade must be removed first because it prevents removal, but there are no visible fasteners or method recognizable. My only thoughts are the hatch assembly has to be removed first.
I wanted to see if anyone has any experience and best way to remove the panel. I'd like to think the ceiling board could be removed without removing the hatch. Also, I assume BOMAR is the best option to get new seals.
Best regards and thanks!
