Access to Traveller front post top screws?

Post by **Axolotl** » Tue Oct 30, 2007 2:05 pm

Can anyone tell me how I get access to the (two?) screws that hold the top of the front wood post to the "B" pillar?

I can't work out how the felt sliding window seal is held in place, or how much I have to dismantle before I can get the front vertical section of the seal out.

Does taking it out imply having to replace with a new seal, or will I be able to re-use the old one?

The reason I want to get at the screws is that I have a major "creak" that I think is coming from the top of the wood post against the "B" pillar. Tightening the bottom accessible screws made some difference, but hasn't completely cured it.

Any hints or tips?

I think these screws are under the short vertical window channel. It could be either screwed or nailed to the wood, but either way the chances are it won't survive being pulled out and you'll have to replace it with a new piece.

The felt runners are held in with screws- they may be corroded and the heads round so be prepared to slot with a dremel and use a big screwdriver if the existing screws do not undo with a phillips. The vertical channel behind the B post hides the screws that hold the top of the wooden B post into the captive nuts in the metal part of the B post.
