450: Headliner in the salon.

[Robby1077]

What holds the soft headliner in the ceiling of the salon of a 2017 450s? Can it be easily removed and replaced if needed?

On my 2013 450 it is a combination of velcro at the edges near the windows and very small Phillips screws as you remove the panels towards the center. There may be a few visible screws on the outermost ceiling panels. You will want to remove those outermost ceiling panels near the port and starboard windows first, then remove one at a time until you reach the center of the boat. On your outermost panel remove any visible screws and then reach up by the window and give the panel a good pull downwards to release the velcro. Once you do this any additional screws should be visible. It's a tedious job and probably requires two people.

This is a picture of the outermost panel removed.. You can see the black sections of Velcro. And the metal rails that connect.
