    • Carefully remove the clips on the side by pushing up with the Jimmy. If needed, use the plastic Opening Picks to keep the back piece from popping back into place.

    Note: make sure that you are lifting with your jimmy the deep-down metal part together with the upper plastic cover. Otherwise you’ll break it apart - it is connected with each other by the bellow described phillips screws.
