Stumped - how do I get this panel off my F3?

[bboley]

How do I get this panel off? I have a gap where it meets the panel on top of the tank, and I would like to fix it. I have removed the side panel and taken out the panel retainer but something underneath the panel is holding it from coming off. Thanks in advance.

Has your dash "popped" out at the bottom?

It just pulls off towards you. Mine was tight and had to use plastic levers, very gently.

There were steel clips on the bottom, plastic on the top from memory.

The levers.

Yeah I got that off as well. There is just one spot underneath the panel I'm trying to get off that is holding it.

Ah OK.
Your photo shows the dash surround in place.

Perhaps another photo or 2.

I found this one too by looking up Lamonsters video. This one actually shows how to put it on and take it off. Thanks for your help!

Scary the first time, but it gets easier, the more you practice!
