Well I've restored nearly everything on my 2008 305 Express. Most people see it and struggle to determine what year it is. Looks a lot newer than 2008.
One of the last things I need to do is fix the sagging vinyl on the overhead panel in the cabin where the lights attach.
Anyone removed these before? I don't see how they are attached but guessing it's an adhesive.
I want to remove them and glue the vinyl back in place. It's in good shape, but just separating from whatever board it is attached to.20210530_093042.jpg

We did it on our 330 express. Get a good paint scraper . They are put up with adhesive I used gorilla glue that comes in a caulk tube to reinstall. It grabs and holds quick.

Excellent! Thank you so much. Just what I needed to hear before I started trying to heat and pull it apart.
