Hi all!
I'd like to remove the camcover, but it's fixed With the liquid sealant. The gap between is to small for a sqrewdriver, Needle,.... so i can Not Lift it up.

Is There a special Trick to do that?

Cheers

You should be able to run a Stanley knife blade in, then tap with a rubber mallet to break the seal.

Not possible, sealant thickness is less than 1mm...

I always use an old wood chisel on the front corner, a few gentle ish taps breaks the seal.

You’ll find a point on the cover where the knife edge of the blade will go in as the knife edge is probably less than half a mil... I’ve done it about 50 times.

I would reserve that for carpentry!

I few good taps with a rubber mallet should get it moving but if you can get a stanley knife along the seal first that would help to get it moving.
