Your welcome! I have completely gutted the inside of my boat and done everything myself. It was fun and was a great winter project beats paying a ton of money to have someone else do it. Good luck and have fun. If you have anymore questions just ask.

Lower panels have screws hidden in the carpet if it's like my 97 talari. Uppers on mine lift out. Mine is gutted as I type.. Sorry, but don't see the fun. Just got done glassing new floor. Good luck. Obtw, if you are trying to remove bottom, try GENTLY prying top of panel out and looking through gap for screws then dig through carpet to find the head

I just removed the padded panels up in the bow section of my '98 202 and my son and I tried to remove the longer side panels from the main cabin. We popped off the screw cover buttons (need to find more of those) and unscrewed them. I thought that the only thing left holding them is the L brackets and we could lift them off. No dice... They wouldn't budge. I wonder what I am missing?
I have two 1/2" thick 4' X 8' white King Starboard sheets so I can replace my sundeck/engine cover and my bow seating pieces. I thought that I have enough to replace those long padded panels if I could get them off.

There are screws behind the buttons that go into the fiberglass. Also, they are burried in the carpet at the bottom.

I don't know if your panels are like my old Z250, but there were also screws located underneath the decorative vertical "straps" of vinyl.



Never could confirm if these were originally done at the factory, or something the previous owner had done, but give it a try, pull them aside a little bit and see if you can see holes underneath. If so, then that's what might be holding them in place! I was able to fully remove my panels after removing these screws.

I wish my interior looked like that.... No, we don't have any vertical straps...

I found the screws under the vertical straps just like ShabahZ250 said. Mine have pulled out on one area and I need to repair the damaged holes. I will try to take some pictures for you Friday if it will help.

Thanks... I know it will...

Thanks for the photos but mine isn't a Z202.... I just have the basic interior. No cool speaker nacelles, no vertical straps....
