GOOD GOD!

I was just coming in here to ask about that. Tried removing the screws
on my 2003 EX and all but two cracked the housing. DAMN! That sucks.
Car isn't covered under warranty either. How much does a replacement
cost? My brother-in-law guessed $200. However the cover is still stuck
(tight as ever it seems), any significant risk of getting dirt in there
while I try to arrange for repairs?

Thanks!
