Is there a trick to opening the cover to plug in the power. I just picked up my 173T today and I am trying to plug it in. However, I can not get the stupid cover open. Please help!!! Thanks, jon ------------- '10 R-pod 173T. TV - '03 Honda Pilot |

The power plug cover just lifts straight up, put a finger under the lip at 6 o'clock and flip it straight up.

Thanks, I had to use Pliers to get the stupid thing open. I thought it was easy. jon ------------- '10 R-pod 173T. TV - '03 Honda Pilot |

Cold weather probably made it a tighter fit. I know metal expands and contracts but plastic I don't know about. Good luck with you new R-Pod.

Mine sticks every time! I usually have to use a key to pop it open. Terry ------------- RP-175 W/Lift Kit 2011 Ford F-150 4X4 Saint Augustine, FL: The first permanent European settlement in the USA: 1565 |

How about using some silicon spray around the cap?

Mine sticks, I have to use the heel of my hand to push it sideways while prying the lower lip out. Or at least I did until the whole thing broke off in the cold a few months ago. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual
