Access to Shower Plumbing?

   Hello, does anyone know the method for accessing the shower plumbing?  Yesterday I purchased a bank repossessed 2022 RP-196 for a very good price and it seems the previous owners didn't winterize it last year.   While trying to winterize it water was running from behind the shower liner and into the shower basin.  I have found videos on YouTube of how to remove the plastic rivets holding in the liner but I just wanted to know if anyone had experience with this and if accessing it from inside of the shower is the best method?  Any help would be much appreciated!

TIA

Glenn

	I removed my liner earlier this year. Not the easiest thing due to the bulk and getting it out. I broke most of the "rivets" trying to get them out. Ordered replacements from Amazon, no big deal.

	OK, I'll order rivets, they seem cheap enough. Question though, is the plumbing visible behind the liner or is there a layer of wood behind that?

	The only access into the wall's interior was the opening for the corner sink in mine. I was able to access everything I needed to through that opening.

	Thank you. I'm going to try and tackle this over the weekend. I'll take some pics and post the results.
