In regards to the hardware showing.....I spoke with Steve from Innotech yesterday letting him know my template is on its way to him. I mentioned the hardware being hidden and he said that if his memory served him right, Sonic glued those pieces on and used no hardware. Can anyone here verify that ? Can anyone recommend the best stuff to use that would hold well ? He said as long as the material was firmly held in place then a good glue would hold the light and plate in place....... What do you guys think ?

I have a hard time believing Sonic glued light panels to vinyl. With the pounding an offshore boat takes, I wouldn't trust it.

I have to agree with you. He said he does not recall hardware at all. I'm guessing Sonic glued it to the board that the headliner is glued to....... It looks like a type of particle board or marine plywood. I'll have to take a closer look but if anyone has any suggestions let me know.........

And I actually decided on using hardware instead of just glueing them in...... I found a lot of options for very nice decorative screw caps online...... here is one site of many that I found......

If you call Steve at Innotech I'm sure he'd be glad to make up some more. Should be easy enough, he just made mine about two weeks ago........
