I've been trying to remove the black rain funnel from the base of my Davis
VP
to give the innards a bit of a clean but I've had no success. The funnel
is
stuck tight to the base. Has anyone found a solution to this? As it's all
plastic, the amount of brute force that can be used is limited.

It's still peeing down here - another 3 mm since 09z

According to the manual it's just a matter of twisting it anti-clockwise. I
guess the problem is grasping the base firmly enough. One of those jobs for
four hands ;-) unless you're able to grip the base between your knees. As
mine is up a pole (like me sometimes) I restrict my cleaning to fishing any
bits of vegetation out of the funnel, cleaning the guard, and pouring
through it a jamjar of water to which one drop of detergent has been added -
first disconnecting the ISS from the Pro2, of course. Seems to work for me.
