Anybody a fan of the carbon fiber look?
I'm doing al the wood on my day in carbon fiber wrap.
This is the storage draw at the bottom of the dash.

So you're going to have to pull all the dash components out and disconnect all the switches/knobs? That should look good, but man, that's an whole lot of work.

I would agree with Jim, things may never work again....

If your planning on being near Corsicana Texas the next month, be prepared to encounter major floods.
I started tearing my roof off my coach today.

Let me start by saying I HATE LAP SEALANT!
Got all the "appliances" off the roof today. Started taking the 1,000,000,000 screws out of the edge retainer strips. Oh did I mention, I HATE LAP SEALANT!.
There is a screw every 2". My coach is 38ft long. There is a 1/2" of lap sealant everywhere.. I HATE LAP SEALANT! I got close to 1/2 of those screws out.
Wore my 1/4 socket out, had to go get another one. Bought a 40 foot tarp while I was out.
Also, managed to put a blister on the palm of my hand about the size of a quarter from pushing on a scraper.

I HATE LAP SEALANT!!!!

Been there done that. I removed all the dicor, using a small floor scraper and dug it out of the gap between the side and flat portion of the roof (fiberglass roof). I then added a screw between all of those screws and filled the gap with new caulking. Then I topped it off with eternabond tape. So glad it's done, lots of work - took me about a week.

I hope you were using a power drill with the 1/4 socket?

BTW, how do you feel about all that lap sealant?

If it worked as good as it is hard to remove, it would be one of the best products ever invented.
