Valk 3 Power has sealed corners?

[Reed Merrill]

Tonight I thought I'd check the inside of the pieces on my new Valk 3 Power to see what options I have for magnet placements, and found out that all of the corner segments seem to be permanently attached to the corner foot (primary plastic part) so that the corners can't be taken apart. Has anyone else experienced this?

Here's a picture showing what I'm seeing. Using a knife I am able to pry apart the corner segments, but they stay stuck in the foot.

You'll need to remove the base insert at the bottom, then carefully push all three retaining prongs in at the same time. They can easily break, so don't try to save time by forcing or twisting the base off.
The best way I've found to remove the base is to use a portion of the metal Gan tool to push the little prongs in while you gently pull and remove the base. You can also use a 7/32" nut driver. This works for both the Valk 3 and Valk 3 Power. Here's an informal video I did showing this method:

Ahh, thank you. This is my first Valk.
