I guess one question that naturally follows from all this is that, once you mount back the plastic cover, it is ok to leave fixed only with the screws on the top, and without the bottom rivet.

I can't speak to this particular model but it seems with many of the panels on my scoots I could leave off most, if not all, of the actual fasteners and the panels wouldn't go anywhere. Once they are snapped together the actual fasteners are just there for backup duty.

You and Ruffus do seem to share an unreasonable joy in disassembling your scooter's plastics  :)

It seems ol' kansaskymco might be a member of your strange, but harmless group as well?

taking things apart is fun...it's the reassembly that's not so fun! (current view of garage, note Kymco pulled apart, Helix seat off, etc.)

and Stig, I'm honored to be included in the same sentence with Ruffus and Kansas Kymco! I'm just a hack, they're the real deal!

You'll see, KK will change his chair into a dragster...and beat all speed records😄
Happy and safe scootering, Ruffus

Nothing but admiration for you guys prepared to tear into your mounts, I'm more inclined to tear around on mine!
