    Shoot, I didn't think there was anything deeper to bight into or I would have done that.
    Good to know for any future screws I might need to replace.

    I recently just completed a full rooftop rebuild to include an entire roof core replacement. i have tons of pictures to upload, but this forum is not easy to upload the pics, but ill post it somehow.

    in short. you will need to eliminate ALL flybridge screws that screw down the bridge to the rooftop then fiberglass the entire bridge to the rooftop. but be advised, do to the balsa core construction, once the balsa is wet it will rot away and all structural integrity is lost.

    I get started on my post on this subject. stay tooned on Siboney 2.0 thread.
