Hi there.

So, in the front of the boat we have some seats (open bow).

the one corner where the vinyl backing for a back rest is kinda floating from supports on its other ends, however, where it is suppose to be mounted on the corner the fiber glass has chipped off - old age or whatever.

that said, well the lazy way is to just prop it up when we want to use it, but of course ideally I would like to remount it to the fiberglass in a location near where the old mount was.

Questions
Is there any special tool i need to drill a hole to mount the padding back into place? Can I drill into fiberglass? Am I suppose to glue? if so what kind of glue?

thank you for any input you may have.

Can you post a pic or two in order to better illustrate the problem? That might help get some suggestions.
