Can't remove translite on WH2O. I think the top trim piece came loose.

Talk about bad timing... I'm trying to get ready for a move. A few days ago I replaced the trim on my WH2O as I had new pieces lying around. The top piece was a little loose, but I didn't think anything of it. However, now here I am, unable to remove the translite and access the head mounting screws. Movers are coming tomorrow morning...

I can lift the right side of the translite high enough to just get it over the speaker panel channel, but the left side is barely lifting. I thought about removing the lock, but I don't have the correct size security screw. Really not sure what to do at this point and I need to get this game folded tonight!

Same thing happened to me on a machine I had purchased. I carefully ran a plastic putty knife up between the translight and the trim on the side the was still attached and slowly worked my way across raising the translight seating the trim back down on the translight. Took about 20 minutes, but it did the trick.

Thank you. I managed to pry it out by using some of those along the bottom of the translite. Surprisingly, nothing broke during the process.
