    Bow Seat Cushion Assembly Removal

    Ok, I believe in keeping the boat (upholstery) clean of mildew and stains especially after a great summer season. Often passengers track in lake water, driver sometimes takes on water from a roller, passenger sun tan lotion and road grit that often finds its way under the "bow seat cushion upholstery". Now most of this assembly is a huge upholstery board. So my question is, how do you properly remove to clean the upholstery from mold and mildew without damaging or cracking the upholstery board? I know this assembly is installed very snug from Tige.

    Does anyone have any experience other than what I struggle to do?
    Removal:
    #1. Remove small cushion.
    #2. Lift and hold up cooler cushion and #3 windscreen/cushion in up direction
    #4 Have a helper open side compartment storage door for clearance
    #5 Have a helper gently pull up on upholstery leading edge corner, working your way forward, lifting gently to clear past the side of the deck wall, once free lift out of the boat.

    Install: Follow steps in reverse order.
