Upholstery in 2003 Classic

Hi,

We have a 2003 Classic and just aren't crazy about the jungle pattern upholstery.

Can anyone tell me how to get the drawer under the sofa off it's tracks?

It looks like to me, thenext step would be to remove the four bolts holding the whole unit to the floor and remove the whole sofa. Is that right?

Thanks for your help!

Since you're going to re-do the upholstery anyways, you will sooner or later have to remove the entire sofa. Once removed, the drawer mounts should be easily accessible.
Good Luck!

Terri and Chuck, assuming yours is the same as mine, you pull the drawer right out, and then lift the front. The whole drawer then comes away, and yes, 4 bolts can then be removed to enable the whole couch to be removed. A socket set with a long extension makes the job easier. You don't think you could grow to like the original material? Nick

Sofa drawer

Terri & Chuck,

On my 99 34' Classic Limited, There is a tab on each slide mechnism, pressing it downward releases the center of the slides, you can then remove the drawer. Be careful when moving the drawer around as a portion of the slide sticks out about 6-6 inches and can scratch a cabnet!

Hope this helps, JB

Many evenings Brenda gets out her needle and thread and stitches the couch seams together... wow what you get not for $49,000 plus taxes is interesting. And we don't got the "jungle print" that I know of.

Speaking of "DRAWERS"...I've converted the slide-out bed-end that USED TO BE in the back bedroom to make the bed longer, to a slide-out DRAWER for UNDER the new bed; this is a standard custom in Ireland. To be continued>>>
