    Too Short to See Over Windshield! Step Suggestions?

    On a similar note, I can't find small tubes of contact cement for small jobs up here in MA, only half pint and above. Is it like a huffing thing? I get "carded" when I get the pint. I thought that went out in the 70's...

    Too Short to See Over Windshield! Step Suggestions?

    OP here. We will see how this works. 4x4 foam fatigue mats cut roughly in half, bolted together, strips on bottom to drain and protect.

    Too Short to See Over Windshield! Step Suggestions?

    Thanks for all the replies. In the back of the garage i found a bunch of anti-fatigue mats that I am now cutting into a step and bolting together, roughly 4 inches thick or so. We will see how this goes before moving on to something more permanent!

    Too Short to See Over Windshield! Step Suggestions?

    Adventure 208 Rear Seat Back Removal? (Pic)

    Thanks for the info, actually did it both ways, thru the grommet, and cut the bottom open.While redoing I am going to put a bolt through the plastic backing to thru bolt it with one bolt to keep it in place like on my previous boat. Makes it much easier to remove.
