Re: 'burb roof bows

Are you referring to the metal parts of the bows or the plastic strips? The metal is screwed to the lip that is on the outside. The plastic parts are snapped in place. If you have not removed the bows yet, make sure that they are identified with their location as in numbering them from front to rear.

Re: 'burb roof bows

They are not easy to get of without cracking. They are usually very brittle. Maybe a little heat from a hair dryer...?
