I believe it's just held in place with adhesive, some gentle heat (you don't wan't to damage the ABS and careful prying should get it off. You can e-mail Vetter himself via his website for advice.

wound up using a heat gun and gloves and pliers     this is some very foul smelling junk when its heated up enough to actually melt the glue.
