A tempered-glass, uh, glass, exploded in the dishwasher today (it's rare, but it happens), and it seems like a very bad idea to just use the machine and hope that the chunks go away.

We cleaned the obvious parts and then I tried to remove the spray arm (successful) and filter top to vacuum up the bits down in there (I can see them). I removed the 3 visible Torx screws, but there's one more below a water tube that connects to the top rack, and I can't figure out how to remove that without removing the Torx screw... a puzzle. Any tips on how to get this lid off without breaking everything?

I'm pretty handy, but not an appliance expert, as you might be able to tell.

thanks,

Jessica
