1998 safari front upper storage removal

Hi, is there someone that have remove the front upper storage on a 1998 safari? (Without destroying it off course. ..)

I can't find any hardware, wood screw or bolt holding that thing up there... or there is absence of gravity in there that prevent this storage to fall down???

My goal is to remove it and install instead a bunk bed...

Thanks all

If you don't find screws just inside the hinges of the doors I would loo to see if the end panels inside the cabinet, behind the speakers, can be removed to get to possible screws behind the speakers.

Is there a ledge just above the drapes over the window that could be taking the weight?

Well... I finally had to pull harder... it look like this storage is the "core" of my six sleeper...

The storage was install with wood screw from the outside to the inside... I can't figure how they did that... I guess that this section of the roof was installed with the storage already on???

Looks like they install the cabinet into the interior end cap before installing the end cap. A much stronger method and easy to do on a bench.

I like to see where that mouse could get to from there, what with the frame members.
