I’m installing a PeplinkMax router with low profile booster/antenna on the coach roof (exactly where is TBD).
I’m assuming these roof panels in the main saloon are just attached with Velcro??? Didn’t want to rip a hole in the lining if they’re permanently fixed 😱 but I need access to the underside of the coach roof.
Views welcome

OK Update…. They are NOT Velcro Tape attached, I stuck a borescope in. There are screws coming DOWN into the liner panels through thin plywood between the panels and the coach roof 🤯
Anyone tried this ?!?
After the last comment (many thanks) I noticed that the front starboard roof panel was a little ‘saggy’. This MUST BE panel 1 to remove.
1. Remove the one curtain rail and holders 2. Rip off (Velcro) attached panel 1 F/Stbd 3. Unscrew (now) exposed screws on panel 2 and remove panel 4. Work from starboard to port, repeating
Notes 1. Lights had enough cable to come down 2. Remove SS roof bar/handle before the panel
Hope that helps!
Now time for the electronics 😳

Postscript!!! I updated too soon. The three port side panels are a mirror image for removal; so again, start with curtain rail off, then PORT panel 1 - Velcro, exposes screws etc etc

On a lot of jeanneau boats the panels need taking down in the correct order, usually starting at the sides of the boat, you may find screws near a curtain rail, and the inboard edge of the panel on mine links into the centre panels with a ‘jigsaw’ arrangement of plywood strips. Hope that helps CB
