Hi, I am beginning to install carpet in my 86 Landau v-bottom aluminum boat. I have a question on removing the channel that holds the rubber moulding at the top of my boat. This channel/rubber moulding is at the top of my boat and wraps around the front and sides of my boat and serves I guess as a protective bumper. I have drilled out the rivets to the front and back pieces holding the channel. Do I need to pull out the rubber moulding within the channel and there will be rivets behind the moulding attaching the channel to the boat? If so, do I need to pry the channel open a bit when working on pulling the rubber moulding out? Is this how you do it? I need to get that off because the carpet gets held down by this piece of trim.
Thanks!
Thanks!
