The rubber skin can be seperated from the metal part


Looky:






Initially i had made 2 cuts on each side of the holes in the metal part. I could then peel off part of the rubber part. Something was holding the top part. I took a utility knife and peeled of the remaining part inbetween the 2 cuts i had made carfully cutting the rubber in the holes. The rubber skin was easy to seperate afterwards.

Don't know about replacing the metal part. The shape is way to complex for my skills!!!

Looking at the rubber skin from the top part, you can't tell that it has been seperated. Unfortunatly it's still lumpy... I'll let it sit for a while and see what happens.

The lumpy area is actually the change between the holes and the metal between them. The high parts in the rubber sking is where the metal is and the low part represents the holes.

I think that once the lumps appear in the rubber skin, it's time to save some $$$ for a new one ....

Unless someone has a bright idea???
