Here's how to open the Quixsonic GRT rainbow carts.....I wish somebody had pointed this out, or that I figured it out, before I mangled the best Quixsonic I've ever come across, a Desmond Dekker tape.....anyway, here goes:
Get a thin flat-head screwdriver or the equivalent. The plastic of the top part sort of "drapes" over the bottom at the end label. On both sides of the cart, one side at a time obviously, work your screwdriver between the two halves down at the end label and get some room between them to work with. In this pic, the opposite side is already done: http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=139810&a=1024238&p=49639471
Then twist your screwdriver to the right and slide the top down, away from the side where the tape is exposed:

Then, just lift: http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=139810&a=1024238&p=49639476
Once you've replaced the pad, you just lay the top down and slide back into place; here's a pre-slide pic:

Hope this helps somebody....
