It just pulls off. If you then reconnect it the spring that forces it closed will have moved. So you’ll be able to move the cover to the widest open position without it twanging back.
I’m not sure. The lid over my 12v socket wasn’t returning to closed which bugged me. So I removed the lid and refitted with the spring tab primed for auto close. The opposite to what you want 😆😆
