With the welded plastics, use either a tweezer, a nose plier, or a metal spudger to round off the tops until the metal cover can be lifted out.
This may take some time if you only use a tweezer or a metal spludger. A nose plier may be the best and most efficient at this.
If you overdue this part, you can leave the welded screws too thin to hold down the cover which could make the metal cover loose and cause rattle noises.
When reversing this part, try to push down on the tops of the welds so they are able to hold the cover once again.
