The top openings in the back of the TomTom
Rider 2 were a tight fit - I reversed the
CR-V2 bit and hallowed out the opening
slightly so I could remove the screws

Small adhesive covers protect two (2)
screws. I used a small razor blade to pry
them up. Place down on a clean surface
with the adhesive side up so you can return
them to this position after battery install.
Use T-6 bit to remove these 2 screws.

Pry off the back beginning at the top.
