You are not supposed to bend the rear tabs. Remove the 3 screws holding the plastic valence and rotate it as you remove it. You may still have the plastic covers over the screws. Just pop the covers off with a small screwdriver. There are 6 screws by the door opening under the weatherstripping, 3 on each side. If the sticky pad (it isn't sticky, just stuck) is holding you slide a puttyknife under it. Be very careful, there are a lot of sharp edges on the S/S. The foam will help, try it and you will see. With the Tee roof removed remove the plate that is duct-taped down in the center of the roof. Clean the whole area up and retape the plate back. The height in the rear of the Tee roof is determined by the tabs and the rear valence. Be careful with the plastic valence, they are hard to replace but easy to repair (as long as you have all the pieces).
