Does it slide off or does it need to be pried off... i.e. glue > is holding it on ? As well as I can remember, I started to try to peel it off (I thought it was glued) when it just "came off." I was so dumbfounded that I don't know that I recall what I did exactly. I think that it "pulls up" and that there were some plastic tabs that held it on. I threw that part away, so I can not look at it now. Sorry that I did not explain that in my original post. Hope my hint helps (maybe if you succeed you can capture the required steps?). Erick
