need help removing the front bumper orange reflector

Hi all,

Yes, I have tried this link already http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=241661

What I get stuck at , is when I use my thumb to push againts the bumper just below the reflector, no matter how hard I push I dont seem to loosen the reflector up. Whats the proper way to push in? How hard do I have to push?

Thanks

Gary

i just removed mine last week. you push and put the weight towards the bottom of the marker and then push up.

the securing tabs are on the bottom of the marker. hope that helps.

When I push in do I push in on the bumper or the reflector (I am thinking the bumper but just to make sure). When I push up are you refering to pushing up on the bumper or pushing up on the reflector?

Thanks

you push on the reflector. the reflector is "hooked" in place from the bottom. essentially pushing on it near the bottom will unhinge it.
