Replacing credenza and lower tambour doors

I have repaired and replaced all of my tambour doors except in the credenza, control center and under the sink counters. It looks like I need to take the counter tops off and/or do some significant dissassembly to get at them. Has anybody out there tacked this? Any advice?

FYI I was pretty successful on the other overhead and under bed tambours. I salvaged the old ones by first putting strips of aluminum tape at right angles to the tambour about every 9" and then adding a layer of nylon packcloth backing with contact cement. The packcloth I got from Rockywoods Fabrics in Colorado. The tabour doors under the sink and in the credenza are too far gone to salvage, so I will probably buy a new sheet of tambour material.

Also if anyone out there has any extra anodized aluminum handles? I am interested $.
