Getting the hand-holds off.

I'm having trouble getting the covers off from the hand-holds. I can wiggle the cover only up this much, not enough to get the screws out. Some of the other ones I can't wiggle the cover up at all. It's holding me up from hammering out some dings in the roof.
Any tips out there?

mmmmm! i thought they just slid up. maybe try a bit of vasalene or alike and gently lever them up with something blunt.

You may also have to manouvere the handle part so cover will slide or tilt further.

They are all off now. They were quite stiff and required a small screwdriver to prise them up to get started. The texture of the handle often caught on the sharp edge of plastic and cut some of the texture away. The trick was to keep the cover as level to the surface as possible at first, then follow the curve of the handle as you got higher. The covers are very tough, I realy fought with one or two and they didn't crack.
