Removing roller cabinet on front/nose of sport 22FB

I am strongly considering removing the cabinet above the bed in my 2019 Bambi sport FB. The purpose would be to gain access to the interior skin in order to use a hydraulic floor jack to try and press out some deep dents that allow water to pool in the roof.

I am trying to avoid removing the interior skin, as that seems like a whole Nother ball of wax.

I have not yet found any “large” screws That look like they are adequately sized to hold the cabinet. That makes me think I am missing something entirely.

There are three small Phillips screws along the bottom rear of each cabinet, though they certainly look small.

I’m wondering if the structural fasteners might be hidden, under the side panels where the roller panels run.

Please see the pictures below and tell me if there are some screws or something somewhere that I have not yet found.

That looks right, three screws on each side and rivets along the bottom.
Pressing from the inside will only help the frames return. You will need a hard rubber interface to the ceiling. I only remember one frame at the top of the end cap.

You want to push in the center of the bend so I would think removing the cabinets will not be necessary.
