Sounds like you'd need to use those industrial suction cups used to handle plate glass on the plasma screen to get it out...just kidding as the Panasonic manual specifies how to lift it. I know you've said it all along but it is unfortunate that you can't change the tilt. I guess we are back to where we started, how does the plasma look from 13' and tilted at 15 degrees? If you don't have too many nasty reflections enjoy your very nice plasma as is. If the reflections really distract you then maybe the effort to remove and adjust it will be worth it. Regardless, you have a great plasma and I'm envious!
