I definitely edited but perhaps the attached photo was too large. So here goes again: –
I would not have had the nerve to tear the shelf apart if it weren’t for this post. I have a leaky windscreen which was previously repaired but clearly the seals are shot. The trouble with the original shelf is the plywood gradually turns into wet Weetabix so I plan to replace it with a rot proof alternative. I have a plan but will only reveal it if it works OK! I have managed to retain the original fabric – not easy separating it from the foam backing and the amazingly tenacious rubber sealant that Hymer used. Will update when I finish it.
