After 7 years of using a large screwdriver to pry up the cover, I've had it. Why did GM install large screws to button down the cover and no way to open it ? I've never worried that the cover will just pop open on its own so I have never screwed it down.Alas, along came my electrician friend with his router and he enlarged the existing the holes and I installed ACE Hardware circle pull up rings and forever more to open the HEAVY cover I just pull on the O rings and up comes the cover. Why didn't I do this 7 years ago and why didn't GM engineer a simple solution ? Just curious, what have others done
