Are we supposed to remove the aluminum cover?

No, it is added protection against rain and the elements so you cover does not begin to rot.

Yes, but you may have to remove the aluminum stay that is located in the pack.

You dont need to remove the cover if you dont want to. The open part is big enough for you to remove/attach the side cover whith the frme mounted in the camera. It is realy handy.

The cover seems to be held on by some kind of glue. I'm sure you could remove it but it may be difficult to get back into place

Yes it is, i was easily able to remove it after placing it to replace it. Though i have only had it for nearly a month Im not quite sure how well it is removed after it has been there for several months, years etc.

I don't believe you have to do that but I'm not positive. This is my first winter with the cover. We are in central New York and are going through a real rough winter and the cover seems to be holding up very well though.

My ones are electronic so cover pops off to change batteries, im sure the non electronic ones pop off for cleaning/hygiene replacement of foam.

Mine has a plastic cover that screws off. You must have the gas shielding type.

Remove a plastic clip on each side in the back and it works like a charm. Squeeze them to remove them. Happy With cover

Are you talking about the protective plastic? If so that is supposed to be removed before use..If not I don't know. We have been using ours for about 9 years and no problems.

No, you don't need to remove it. it has a plug about 4 inches from the wheel. You just unplug it. tuck it into the cover and go. quick and simple.

Yes it is removable for assembly and disassembly. It would not be a good idea to remove it all the time. The top cover serves as a handle when removing the bottom plate for cleaning.

Don't know why you would want to. Had mine for a long time, years, and never need to remove cover. If nothing get's in you don't need to clean it. But I'm sure you could. I'm not.

YES, it needs to be removed, it was a bit hard too. Did not know this before so I didn't have good tools to use for the removal.

The cover is metal.. I think it's aluminum and the vanes on the opposite side that open and close are plastic.

I have not removed the cover. I always put a towel or small blanket on things like this to make it easier to keep it clean, instead of removing and cleaning.

yes there are screws around the perimeter of the cover that must be removed but it issimple enough to do.
