I have looked at numerous threads but have seen comments saying that the side panels on the 2.3TL's are glued and i saw posts saying they are clipped like the 1.2TL's.
Can someone confirm before i F these up trying to get them off?:redface::redface:
Thanks

    I have never tried to take mine off, but I just went and looked. On my 1.2TL's the sides separated pretty easily with a putty knife stuck between the cabinet and the side panel. THe panels on the 2.3's didn't budge a milimeter, even with a heavy screwdriver.

    I bought a minty set except that they are pretty dusty and dirty from sitting.I really want to clean these sides without taking them off but masking tape rollers and vacuum aint cuttin it.
    Can i use the carpet cleaner routine while they rae still on successfully?
    They are nice and i really want to be careful so i keep them nice.

    If you have access to some compressed air, that will work out much better than a vacuum for cleaning the grill cloth.

    Just to confirm, the side panels are glued on.

    You can use Resolve fabric cleaner, but don't spray it heavy as the panels are made from some sort of compressed fiber material that will not react well to excessive moisture.
