How do I remove this safely without breaking anything? I don't know how it got stuck.
It is probably sticking because Meade use some adhesive backed pads to make the cover fit tightly. Mine jammed initially too.The tacky glue from these will stick the cover in place. Careful teasing of the cover with a broad blade screwdriver should persuade it loose, it is flexible plastic but go carefully.
After it is off peel off the pads and clean off the excess glue with WD40. Degrease the area and either replace the pads or add some of your own (DIY shops sell adhesive pads)
Just put several small pieces of stick on velcro inside the edge of the cover to tighten up the fit.
