My new to me boat came with extremely sticky lids. Apparantly the old owner put really heavy carpet on it and then never used it, you'd get a hernia trying to open these things. After reading here, I got some shears and went to town on the carpet. I've gotten all the lids to open much better except for my 2 livewell lids. I've trimmed and trimmed and can't seem to get them from not sticking.
Two ideas I had are putting some type of lubrication (vaseline?) on the lid edges, or just taking some of the carpet off all together. Would it harm anything to just take some carpet off the lid edges? I plan on a total recarpet next winter, had too many other projects on it this year. Let me know what you think.
