Chris Craft 340 Upholstery Removal Question

[rdc54yty]

I have a 94 CC Crown 340. I'd like to remove some upholstered panels in the cabin for a TV project and to track a leak. There are no visible screws. I don't want to just start prying until I know what kind of fasteners are behind the panels. Does anyone know what CC used to hold these on?

On my CC 205 BR Limited 21 footer, most (all?)trim is held on by 1/4" carriage bolts with nuts on back side of fiberglass hull (in void areas). Mine were kind of rusty so probably not Stainless Steel.

LOL A real pain to get nuts on if anything like our 19' Sea Ray. Especially the one up by the shifter. I stuck the nut to my index finger with contact cement to get that one on without dropping it 57 times.

The 340 doesn't seem to use through-bolts though. I'm thinking velcro or clips, maybe glue. I'm hesitant to pry for fear of breaking some irreplaceable, brittle plastic clip but it may come to that. Thanks for the info.
