    Default 2020 RT rear panel removal - is it meant to be this hard?

    I am having a hard time getting the rear panel removed from my 2020 RT Base. I have pulled it straight up Loose from where it snaps in but I cannot get it to slide out I feel like I’m going to break it.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Take the rear seat off and squirt some armor all on the rubber mount, work it up and down then it will slide right off. I had trouble the first few times taking the tour pack off and putting the trim panel or tour pack back on until I got a little lube on the rubber mount. Make sure what ever you use for lube is rubber friendly.

    Got it. Lube did the trick (that’s what she said)

    Cheers

    I love this forum. I just ran into the same issue. Found some silicone lube. Gave it a few sprays and voila. 2yrs of owning this machine and never took the top case off to replace with the rear panel lol.
    Thanks folks!

    Taking the rear seat off is huge! Makes all the difference. Glad it worked out!
