I got the wrong trigger cover for my T396A and want to put the correct sized one on. How do I do it?

Anyone? I know some techs on here probably know how to do it and there was a guy selling handmade versions a while back.

Should just be a friction fit. Use a towel to wrap around the cover and gently pull it off.

Thanks! Mine looks like it might have glue on it.

Eeeeh. If it's got glue it's a real pain to remove.

Honestly, I just had my tech remove mine when I realized the one on my Getzen bass was glued on. I was too skittish to do it myself. I don't remember what they did though... I think they just used a pair of soft jaw pliers and yanked it off.

I've just heard some being glued and others not.
