VCR Removal from Patriot
Bob McCORMACK:
The unit was attached by a thick piece of double sided tape on the top. I just worked it loose with a steel ruler and out it came. There was no other way to access the compartment, it is build like a safe with really thick wood.

Our 97 Patriot had the rubber foam tap on the front top edge of the VCR and we were able to work it out. Ours was towards the side and had some depth limitations so replaced it with a more compact DVD player than standard. We also replaced the CRT 19"TV with a LCD 24" and gained some head room.
http://www.classiccoachworks.com/ did it and their pictures are very similar to ours. We also replaced the rear TV with a DVD/LCD and mounted it on a flat panel that covered the old recess. It is removable so we can move it to the outside if we want to.

While you have it apart, you may want to remove all the partitions in the front cabinet to give you more room and improve air circulation for the electronic components. You can also gain some slack in the wires to ease reinstalling the components.

I like the modifications by Classic . The only item I will be retaining is the Inverter remote which can easily be moved. I was surprised that the cabinet with the vent actually didn't have anything in it that needed venting. If anything I would have thought the TV or VCR sections would need heat removal. An LCD will being going in along with a DirecTV recorder unit.
The amount of wood in the VCR cabinet was impressive, built like a tank.
