    Hi,
    I am working on a Gateway NV55S15U laptop. I have removed rubber bezel screw covers before with ease. These screw covers seem to be a plastic and I don't want to scratch the heck out of them because they have a gloss finish. Any suggestions for easy removal :confused:? It seems like they might be glued onto the screw.
    Thanks,
    John

    Thanks for the link. The screw covers took some scratches and after removal it looked like they had a good bit of adhesive. Oh well I guess ebay for cosmetics now.
    Thanks again
    John
