Rally XC100 right-pedal battery door ceased?

I searched and couldn't find an answer to this. So, hopefully this isn't redundant.

I had a set of Rally XC100 pedals and bought the RK pedal body conversion kit for them. However, I was unable to unscrew the right-pedal (dummy pedal) battery door. I ended up stripping the hex slot out. That battery door was stuck!

So I contacted Garmin support and they kindly sent me another one. But, it's ceased too!! The hex slot started to strip on that one as well, so I stopped.

Now, I'm wondering if the dummy pedal battery door is supposed to be removable at all? Does anyone know if that dummy pedal battery door comes off the XC100 pedals? I just found another random right road pedal to use for now, but I would rather if they matched. Feels like the pedal body conversion kit is misleading if you can only transfer the sensors in the left pedal.

    It is designed to be removed. Both the left and right battery doors open in the same direction.

    Well, I pushed a bit harder and it finally snapped loose after stripping the hex slot about half way lol. I guess they super over-torque them in the factory.

    Same with my new XC-100. Right one is to tight, any ideas how to open the door? thanks

    When I stripped the first set, trying to remove the battery door, I was able to get a brand new set by contacting Garmin Support. The new set was still really tight, but I placed the right pedal in an old sock, and clamped it in a vice. That allowed me to apply enough force to finally snap it loose after half-stripped the hex slot.

    I also got a replacement device from customer service, but unfortunately I have the same problem with the new right pedal. I can't open the dummy door. To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed and don't understand why Garmin doesn't recognize this problem. Don’t know what to do

    Unfortunately I can't offer much suggestion. For me, as mentioned earlier in this thread, the replacement set of pedals right battery door was still really stuck on there... But I was eventually able to snap it loose after placing the pedal in a sock (for protection) and in a vice. That held it still so that I could apply a lot of force/leverage to the ratchet I was using to unscrew the dummy pedal battery door. The hex slot half stripped when I was turning it, and I thought to myself; "Here we go again" ... assuming it would fully strip. However, to my surprise it finally came loose.
