this cook top does not have screws in the burners, see attached.  so it looked like the bottom would be the access point but that does not come off either. it looks like the base is glued to glass top. if service manual is not available,  any suggestions I would appreciate. thank you

I've ran into a couple that seemed to be glued. Idk if they were or if the hat just melted the seals. I used my razor knife to free the top but be careful not to brake it they break easily. Almost all the parts inside that thing are no longer available I would take that into consideration before I wasted a lot of time on it.

i wasted a lot of time on this one 25 min just to remove bottom.  the thing was very corroded together, leaving me to believe at first that the bottom did not come off. afraid of busting the glass top i used a plastic tool. and yup parts are on a 2 week back order. thank you
