Hi, I have recovered all the cushions and made new curtains for our Adria Altea 542 UK 2006 but I can't work out how to remove the board which has a fabric cover on the side of the rear dinette. Has anyone got any ideas?

if you cant get the board off how about cutting out fabric and then elasticating it to go over? any muck on that later on can then soon be removed and cleaned up and replaced back on

I have a feeling that they are put in place before the metalwork goes on the outer of the caravan

If going the above route and the original has buttons on it - to stop it being all loose and baggy measure the position of the original buttons and make button holes then just slip the buttons through when you are putting it on.
I also find this method works well when making box type loose cushion covers and you don't want to remove and redo the upholstery buttons as it holds the material tight.

If you can get your head into the overhead cupboards, you should find a few screws going down to blocks at the rear of the board/pelmet.

Thanks all. I have decided to go down the elasticated idea and there are some buttons, so will do me123's suggestion. Now if this wind would stop we might get away!

Hi achy the screws that hold the board on are usually found under the buttons they just lift one edge of the button and put a screw in.

Thanks Gerona-we tried that but the board still didn't shift. :-(
