    Hi all!

    I have a question. In our ownercabin in our Riva Coral 45 from 1989 (basically a combination of the Riva Superamerica 45 and 50 - same layout and guest/owner cabin) we have 2 bed lichts behind plexiglass in the ‘bed boards’. I want to change these lights but can’t find a way to access the armature. I tried losening the ‘vent board’ on top of it but - besides the airco vent being attached to this so it has limited space to lift it up - the lights are mounted in a box fixed to the side board.

    It seems access needs to be dismounting the side board, but does not seem to ‘click’ off, I can’t find any screws or see panel mounting when looking in from the top when lifting the top vent board. I don’t want to force it by pulling it to hard. Any ideas?

    If the green mount things are each individual units, they may be fastened with nylon "door clips" or Christmas Tree clips" -- and some discreet tugging may pry them away from their mount base. OTOH, that may also ruin the clips... and there are clip tools available to try to minimize that. Check YouTube for removing/replacing upholstered panels on the inside of automobile doors, etc. to overview, technique, and tools.

    You could also ask Riva, of course...
