3870 Cockpit Overhang Headliner. . .-gctid809232

Boat projects. . .when it rains, it pours! And ironically, this latest one involves stopping a leak. Front corners drip when it rains hard, which lead to removing the drip rail, which now leaves me with how to deal with my sagging cockpit head liner. Currently it is detached and I'm letting it all dry out over the next couple days. But, not sure what to do with it now?

The vinyl is still solid, but isn't the prettiest thing to look at. I should be able to clean up the back side and reglue it. At some point paint it with white vinyl paint so it looks fantastic B)

Just out of curiosity, has anyone cut it off flush with the bulkhead and finished the overhang? Glued in new vinyl?

thanks!

Hi, yes I had the same problem 3 years ago (not as bad as yours though) I had an upholsterer come down and replace it.

They cut it off at the bulkhead, butted up the new stuff and re-glued and fastened it back under the drip rail.

Looks a million bucks even after 3 years.

Good to hear! Probably more work to reglue the old vinyl then paint it. . .Tonight's project is to trim it off!

Any pictures, out of curiosity?
