If that doesn't work, heat it longer than you think it can stand and try again. You need to trap because any breeze will take all the heat away.
The advantage of this method is that it is non-destructive.

It may be non destructive to the screws, which cost pennies, but it will probably damage the PLASTIC cover, that cost around $100.
