If im gonna take off the battery band does it just rip off?

 

On my '06 I took off the battery cover. The band was held in place by 2 clips on the back of the cover.

man for some reason i think mine ws held on by 3m tape and clips... i took off the cover, unclipped the band, once off i heated up the band and pulled it off the backing clip... easy cheesy!

 

Yes, it can rip off, but I used needlenose pliers to pinch the tabs/plugs to get it off for when I re-install when paint dries.

Even if I weren't going to re-install, I'd be kind to it in case you want it back on for any reason.

 

ok so taking off the cover first then removing the band is probably the best way. im guessing the cover comes off easily, ill need to take a look at it when i get home tonight. do youhave to take the seat off to get the cover off?

 

On an 07, one phillips head screw on the bottom end of the cover, easy.

 

No....one screw beneath the cover and It'll pop off.

 

thanks for the info guys. ill do it when i get home

 

on 07 band was held on with two sided tape not cover just the band. I used fishing line to take itoff

 

Nice, no holes left behind
