Bow hold on rail

[The Mia Fay]

Question has anyone had a problem with the bow chrome hold on safety rail coming loose ?? I had a problem with both sides the bolt came out and fell into the storage compartment below. The dealer said this is a common problem poor design. If you had a similar issue did you have to pay for the repair?? I have a 252S year 2021

Should be covered.
I’m currently dealing with this issue on the port side. Bolt towards the anchor box is really loose. I’ve attempted to get a open end wrench in there to no avail. Dealer said they would repair. However they are 90 miles away…
If you can manage to get your arms up there, I recommend wearing long sleeves and gloves. Put blue locktite on the bolt prior to reattaching.

Not covered they did fix it , for a $100.00. Didn’t see how they did it very tight spot . Good Luck

There’s a thread on this on here.

Based on the comments from others on how difficult it is to get at, it was probably worth the $100.

Very easy to do remove 2 bolts from under the cushion , there’s a hole cut into the fiberglass for this, add some lock title and you are done

So I did mine by removing the speaker and fiberglass housing, kinda sucked but not horrible. Another member removed the seat back cushion and there is a huge hole to make it super quick and easy.

Out of curiosity - how does that cushion come out?

Not sure on that one exactly but they are pretty such all the same... some screws on the bottom and then it lifts straight up.

The screws are often hidden, so you have to feel them then press the cushion up to get to them.

While I've got the right person here... how in the world do you take out the plastic insets panel pieces by the cupholders?

I don't remember exactly but I think you take out the speaker and then you can feel around each corner for a nut to remove and it slides out.

Well, sorry you’re dealer/warranty did not cover it. Mine was repaired and covered under warranty yesterday.
They also took care of the loose pilot console door, and anchor locker cover stripped screws.
I purchased the 7 year full coverage warranty. It’s pay off already. Between the 02 sensor issues, and the other stuff.
