This has come up in some of my personal conversations with others as well as on the list in the past, I think, but I wanted to share my opinion with the whole group. When using body filler and prepping for paint on the cabin top, I highly recommend not covering up all of the screws that are used. Most things that are screwed on are going to end up needing to be removed at some point down the road, and having the screw head showing makes it really nice to get to. It is no problem to paint over them, but filling them in (which we did on N256H) is, IMHO, better left undone. Especially door hinge screws, seat belt screws and the maybe even the screws that hold the bar to the cabin top. If you are worried about a leak, putting a little bit of silicone or something like that in the hole before pushing the screw through should take care of that.
