Ah, yea, not so much. I went outside, and looked at the front cap, just above the windshield.

Yea, turns out, they just drilled some holes through the fiberglass, stuck a small bolt through there, with a nut on the inside.
Yet another series of holes to create a possible leak point. Lol...
If you want to do something, you will find a way.
If you don't, you will find an excuse.

And yes, I broke another one of these. Didn't happen today, nor during the removal of the front cabinet, but it did happen.
Guess it's a good thing, I bought some extra phillips drivers. Lol...

Getting ready to remove the fiberglass over the pilot and copilot's seats.
The nuts that are holding the font of it up, have been removed, (green circle).
Have a couple of screws inside the red circle, and then I can take this down.

I pulled the fiberglass down. Inside the green circle, is a pile of fiber type junk, that obviously was put there by a mouse, at one point. (green circle).
The area inside the yellow lines comprised the majority of the area above the white fiberglass. There was no insulation between the outside fiberglass cap, and the inside fiberglass that was inside the storage area there.
I always thought that area seem very hot in the summer time when in full sun. Turns out, this was why.

This is what the top side of the fiberglass looked like.
Some of the mouse nest can be seen on the left side. (right side in the motor home).
The fairly clean v section in the center, is where there was paneling overhead, on the ceiling.
The rest of this, the dirty area, had no insulation.

This is the top side of the paneling that was over part of the fiberglass in the previous pic, and was glued to blue board insulation above it.

Next step was to remove the bolts that went through the front cap, just above the windshield.
That left a series of holes that needed to be closed up.
Can you guess what I used?

Turns out that Por 15 has a tube of Patch. It's basically Por 15 that is a little thicker than their paint.
It's a little like caulk, but with the Por 15 properties.

So, first thing was to clean the inside of the fiberglass just a touch.
I took my grinder with the flap sanding wheel, and just barely removed the skin of the fiberglass.
I then put some of the Por 15 patch in there, and pushed it through the hole, and added a little more around the hole on the inside, to give the Por 15 a head on the inside.
