TV Cabinet above driver.
Jeremy Parrett:
I have installed a 32 inch LED TV on a support bracket center above the dash. I need to remove the old TV cabinet, cut off the top so it is the same height as the rest of the cabinets above the dash,and then reinstall it. It seems to be attached at the sides to the cabinet above the driver and to the cabinet left of center above the dash with screws. Will it come loose if I undo these screws?
Anyone who has done this modification please help!!!

The trim around the front TV cabinet of our 2002 Monterey is held on with 4 screws, no glue. I have had it off several times. Not sure about the Marquis but I assume it is similar.

Jeremy,
We have a 2000 Marquis Jasper. I could not locate all the screws in order to remove the cabinet. We sawed it down in place. It was an awkward job but a Fein saw did the job. You could use a jig saw too. At the ends you would have to use a hand saw to finish the cut. The upholstered bottom comes off with several bolts going into Tee nuts. I had to make a raised panel door to match the others. We also removed the center portion of the cabinet where we installed the TV. It is hinged so it swings up to the ceiling when driving. It works well and is flush with the cabinet bottom when closed.

I would like to make a pair of matching raised panel doors for the TV cabinet in the bedroom, so I can turn it into a storage cupboard. I think the wood used for the cabinets in my coach is poplar, which is not available here. What wood did you use? Where did you find a source for that wood? Hinges too.

Richard I would love to see some pictures of your remodel Sounds pretty interesting. Kieth. My neighbor has a Timber King saw mill and we cut in our sare time. I know we cut Poplar/popal/aspen this past summer into rough sawn 1 by varied widths.
