Question 38 Scarab Bow Rail bolts came loose, How can I get to them.

I have 3 bolts that have came loose that hold secure my center bowrail to the deck, all three are under the headliner. 2 are under the center panel of the headliner in the cabin, the third is under the center headliner of the front birth, It would apear that you would remove at least the center panel of the headliner but I do not see what is holding the headliner up.
Has anyone had this issue and found a good way to get to the bolts so that they can be tightened, or at least know the to trick bring down the headliner.

Thanks

Figured it out, you need to go in and take out the inside trim panels for the hatch covers then start pulling the staples that hold the headliner up until you can get to the bolts and anything that might be covering the bolts. This was about a 3 hour job in my case. A powered staple gun that was able to staple very close to a verticle edge sped up the job tremendously. An uposltery person probobly could do it in their sleep.
