Easily done with scissors! Hard to get the raccoon to hold still though.

Well, the raccoon has been evicted! It was unfortunately not still inside the tail when I drove the car out of the garage and popped the "hatch" on top to look inside.
So I don't have any hilarious pictures.
But here's what was left behind:
(Looking down from the top of the tail through the "access hatch" to the bottom surface. Must have been tasty.)
That's the underside of the access hatch. Lots of holes poked in the plastic wrap.
I was planning to replace that chewed up bottom panel with coro anyway, so it's not TOO much of an inconvenience.
