Anyone ever have to remove those plastic screw covers on the Voile riser, how'd you remove them?

I drill a hole in 'em, just a small one, then pull them out with a pick. You can seal the hole with a dab of JB Weld epoxy.

I run a drywall screw into them and pull with vice grips.

Small sharp pick that comes in those screwdriver tool sets, just poke and pull. The 90 deg one works a little better. No drills, tiny hole. Easy.

I use one of those eyeglass/precision screwdrivers. Flat head obvs. Can usually wiggle it in there and pop the caps out.

Drywall screw ain't a bad idea tho. I like that

Thanks for all the recommendations, I ended up using a small screwdriver and hammered into the edge, small hole on the side but I'll epoxy it.

Not sure about epoxy... if you need to pull them out again, might be difficult. Just a dab of shoegoo or equivalent. It seals and very easy to remove.

Yeah, don't epoxy them in... I just recommended epoxy to repair the hole.
