gstuart, That is exactly what I have and have tried a couple of times to detach the removable "Arch" section to no avail.
I'm sure they should disengage but I'm buggered if they will. Tried pushing the protruding bit at the bottom & a thin tool in behind it, just nothing.
Anybody go any idea how they come apart, would be really happy to know, I was thinking of cutting the bit that sticks out the bottom off & replacing the tag with a cable-ty.
