Struck another hurdle

[derpomz]

I was changing the vac hoses on my cruise this morning. I wanted to take of the panel underneath the steering column when lo and behold the plastic caps that have to be taken off have been glued on.

I pried them of and some blue glue has been stuck to them. I cant see if they are bolts are screws to take the panel off. I was trying to replace the long hose but cant get the panel off.

Any ideas as to what to do and, is this normal.

If it's the one I am thinking of it's held up by 4 screws two either side top and bottom.....maybe they have glued covers for the screws?....post a pic derpomz it would be helpful.

cross head screw heads if original, I have encountered 8mm ( I think ) hex heads. They are never very tight, should be a very easy task to get that panel off. The finishing covers over the screws should pop off exposing the screw heads

I've yet to see a P38 with those caps still in place.

That's why I thought the PO may have glued them in

I have two of the four caps held on with bluetac. Can anybody beat two?

Rounded out to an even zero. I got rid of them long ago.

Pete38 is winning. You can buy them, but I haven't given it would stand me close to $100.

Look closer, would I try to trick you.. One is on the right side with the Brake controller, the other the left side with my micro CB fixed just under it.

Rarer than a rare thing.

I had all four, but lost one... probably in the same lost spot where the plastic cover for the driver's arm rest hinge went... most disappointing :(
