on the escape 21, with the big fridge, I can't figure out how to remove the external access panel for the fridge. i see the two slotted fasteners, I've turned them every which way, and tried pushing and pulling and it just won't let go. I don't want to break anything.
They are finicky. A couple of times I've almost broken them. Sometimes it just pops off and other times....... In my case I've found gentle lifting works most times.
ah, ok, just wanted to make sure i was on right track. mine are in the UPPER corners, so it was more like push down and wiggle after setting vertical, but I got it off, just wanted to inspect behind it.
Yeah, they are tight, which can be looked at as a good thing. I took mine off in the cold the other day to remove my fridge, and had to give a real hard tug on the bottom to remove the grill. I winced as I yanked, but nothing broke.

If you watch as you are traveling down the highways you sometimes see fridge vents in the grass. I do see a lot more air conditioner covers. Those usually are from the cover becoming brittle. The vents I suspect are from the little black tabs either not being turned or breaking. I was on a small highway one day and picked up a spare cover for mine. And shortly after did the cpaharley2008 mod. http://www.escapeforum.org/forums/f8...tml#post208305
