Default ASR Cover Removal

So I'm trying to remove my ASR cover and I take out the retaining screw but there is a plastic strap still securing it. The Helm's manual doesn't mention the strap, at least not as far as I can find. I really don't want to break it, anyone know the trick to getting this thing off? Thanks in advance.

If you feel underneath you'll feel the tab that's slid through a slot in the strap. I pop it through the slot on my 95

Just fiddle with it until you can push the tab back through the slot.

As you are looking down at the cover, take your right hand and push the strap down gently.

Thanks for keeping us posted. Always nice to know a job went well.

I remember the first time I removed my cover. Took me quite a while to figure out how the thing came off!
