I've had mine apart on my '09 RT. There's a boat load of screws and some are different lengths. Don't mix up the screws as a longer screw put where it doesn't belong will poke a hole in the outside of your case. Either draw a diagram, or take a piece of cardboard and shove the screws in the same place for re-installing later. Careful of the retracting cover strap. Its spring loaded. Just unclip it from the cover, but DO NOT REMOVE OR UNSCREW the base. The coiled up spring will un-spring, and its a real pain to get it re-wound.
