Warm up your vocabulary. Check libation supplies. Start with rear view
mirror, proceed to sun visor of your choice. Proceed to unscrew the nut
that holds tension on the spring on central shaft. Swear, twist, swear,
twist, repeat until nut is free. Repeat on other side of coach. The rest is
self apparent. Remove speaker/light grills and remove hidden screws, unplug
harness connectors. Remove hidden screws in curtain tracks. Have someone
help lower the cap so it does not break. It will be quite brittle. Don't
think I left anything out. Oh, yeah, do not partake of libations until cap
is safely out. Then, relax with a cool one, or two.

Can someone post up a link? Or just let me know the best removal steps?

Bryan,
Believe me, Jim's not kidding about those sun visor nuts. They will be
HARD to turn, right down to the very last degree. A hint:
1. Turn the wrench and the visor together in the desired direction
(Righty-Tighty/Lefty-Losey)
2. Hold what you've gained with the wrench while returning the visor to
where you started,
3. Move the wrench to match the visor.
4. Got to 1., preceding, MANY times.
Before you put it all back together, lubricate that spring, and wire brush
the threads. It will still be hard to assemble, but not as bad as during
removal.

Visors are out. Speaker/light grills are out. 1/2 of the hidden nuts in the curtain rail are out.
the other 1/2 are just spinning in place. (see pic)
Any tricks here or am I just going to have to drill them?
***edit - I assume the curtain rail comes off with the cap, correct? And if so, I am going to have to drill the rivets to remove it anyway.

Bryan,
If you are interested in the front windshield cockpit pleated blinds let me know.
We have recently acquired the Guske shade business.
Three years ago we purchased their GMC coach. Now they have passed the shade business on to us.
Great people!

Dont know if yours has it or not, but when I pulled my headliner down There were autographs on the underside from Vickie and Ida Dated 03-21-77. Yup thats 40 years ago tomorrow.......
I signed my name and date last year next to theirs when I put it back up. Maybe in another 40 years Ill check it again.
I thought that was the BEST part of taking my headliner down for fresh paint.

Bryan,
Hope U intend to insulate the roof areas after the leaks are found. It will feel warmer/cooler depending on the season.
Suggest to foam glue (and make measured notes) 1 or 2 wood blocks for the purpose of holding up
up the capon center area. Over time they do tend to sag a bit.
When reinstalling cap use SS screws.
