Instrument cover removal

[captainmarko]

I am attempting to install the Oldtimers Nav Lock in my 2015 RT. The two "screws" on the bottom of the instrument cover are not screws. They don't fit anything. All the videos I find refer to them as screws, but they are not. I can kind of push a small torx head in there but it only unscrews a little bit before stopping.

Rather than force anything, I put it all back together and am seeking wisdom from the hive mind.

I don't want to break something and then be forced to take the care to work (oh the shame...) while I wait for replacement parts.

Any advice?

Copy that. But if that's a #2 Phillips, I'll eat my hat.

Either that or I'm going blind in my old age.

It's either a Phillips or a torx. I've never had a reason to monkey with my 15 there so I can' tell you what mine are. However, depending on the year of the bike he's working on, it could be either.

Get a good light and a magnifier and you should be able to sort it out.

Note that he says you don't unscrew them completely. Just loosen and then pull the screw and what it screws into to expand it.
