I need to remove my IKEA "Vikarn" shower-curtain rod. The screws are covered by a piece which is shown on page 10 of the assembly instructions. This piece clicks on, as shown, but how can I get it off? Neither twisting nor pulling seems to do the trick, and I've forgotten what the inside of the piece looks like.

Have you tried prying the piece apart with a small screw driver or butter knife? – UnhandledExcepSean Sep 11 '18 at 18:04

Going with what ^^ said, try praying the bottom edge of the cover. My guess would be that the cover somehow connects with that screw that is inserted upwards. I also take it you are trying to repurpose this shower rod? – Greg Sep 12 '18 at 4:02
The cap is very similar to a most any plastic lidded container with a tiny lip clicking over another tiny lip. UnhandledExcepSean would be correct that a little pry with a thin stiff device should pop them apart.
Sometimes in just 1 spot is all that's needed and other times you'll need 2 devices and walk the prying halfway around before they pop free. It just depends on precision and quality control differences between the caps, if any.
