Is there any way to take the see through plastic stabilizing guard off from the body of the unit?

Yes. There are 4 tiny screws that hold the guard in place. With these removed it will come off. This is an amazing unit. Does everything as advertised at good USB 3.0 speeds. My only complaint is that it only has 1 hard drive dock.

There is a tab you push against with a small screwdriver in the slot on the bottom of the unit, which will allow you to "pop" it apart, giving access to the screw mounting holes and battery compartment. Pull the unit apart with your nails while depressing the tab. Good luck!

Maybe. If there is a tab to grab, pull it off. If it is a plastic coating that does not have a tab it may be pressed off when it is installed.

HelloThe little plastic cover just snaps onto the lighting unit. You will be able to just pull it off. You might have to use a butter knife or screw driver (unplug everything first!) to get in between the plastic cover and the unit itself. But there isnt any screws or fasteners holding it. Just plastic grooves that hold it in place.. like legos or models that kids build. Hope this helps

Push the mount tab that is under the lower end of your unit and slice the unit away, in the direction of the top of the unit. Mine is also a bit hard to remove, I sometimes have to gently wiggle the unit out. You might also want to look underneath to see if the metal loop to tie down the lanyard (or to unlock the back cover) might not be in the way.

I don't know if it's can be removed but I would check with the person you are having install it. It is wonderful, I love mine and it's well worth the price.

I don't believe there was that option. We tried two of these, but had issues with both. We have since moved to a newer Safety 1st model and love it

Yes you can remove. If you DIY while installing you can easily take it off when you move.

There is a smoked plastic panel, however, I believe you can remove it if needed or wanted.

I haven't but I'm sure you can. The guard is in two halves a front and a rear and are just zip tied together

Pretty sure you can't. That is why I got rid of mine and bought a better brand. I took this one apart and it is just a maze of cheap Chinese plastic inside.

You have to work around it or remove it. The safety factor outweighs the inconvenience and aesthetics.

you can remove one side of the plastic cover, use a knife or something thin to start removing it next to the metal ring. Only one side will come off. then pull out the light and battery holder and replace the batteries

Yes but when you raise the window it forces the plastic tabs out and the guard falls off.

Yes you can remove it. The plastic has some flex to it so you just push out one side carefully and then the other side comes out easily. Reverse to re-install.

Like Rob Harrison said, a pair of pliers should do the trick. Its pretty stout plastic.

Hi Elisa, The plastic covering on the bolt is a bolt guard to protect against damage during shipment. Yes, the bolt guard can be removed. Thanks for noting this; we'll see about changing the image. I hope this helps, Luis Juarez
