Model RAX45 Loose Antenna Mounts
Hello, my sister has a Nighthawk Model RAX45. They keep it at a shared vacation space and one time they found that two of the antennae were very loose and the mounts don't seem to be fastened down to anything inside anymore. It still works, but the two floppy antennae are kind of a pain. How do we open the case to see what is going on? If it is just popped out of a slot or something we could fix it ourselves. But we can't figure out how to open the case. There is one torx screw on the back that we can see, but is that all that holds it together? Any info on how to open it up would be appreciated. I have searched online but I haven't found anything.
Thank you!

Your best best is if someone else has taken it apart or the fcc documents.
Here's some internal photos from the fcc.

I'd probably just get some sugru for it and not worry about it
Thank you for that link! It helps a lot. I was going to just glue whatever was broken back into place. Should take care of the two floppy antennae. Now, at least, I can see how it opens up. Looks like it is just the one torx screw on the back.
