1997 252 Bow backrest removal

Post by andy7684 »

97 252.
I would like to remove the seat backrest in the bow. It is the backrest with the ebroidered cobalt logo right below the windshield on the Starboard side.
I went into the head/storage area and removed the panel on the back wall, which revealed about 4 or 5 bolts that I removed. It loosened the seat, but it still seems to be held by something at the top edge.
Am I just missing a hidden bolt or maybe another fastener accessible from some other area?
I am going back to see if it is simple as sliding off some rail.
Appreciate any ideas.

There was no rail on mine. It was just 6 screws I want to say that held it in place? (I had mine off over the summer and am already forgetting)

Chances are you're just missing 1 or 2.'

If it's still holding up near the top, you may have a couple screws hidden behind the head liner.

Thanks for the tips. Yes, about 6 more screws under the liner.
