Had the problem that several blades of the lens cap did not close or open fully. I fixed it in the following simple way, no tools and a little bit of primative force:

Wow! That would be great, I got quoted over 200 EUR by Amazon / Canon to fix this.

  1. take the front part of the lens and pull gently but firmly. with a little bit of manipulating the housing will slide off.

Hmm, would you mind marking where to hold, where to pull and what comes off, maybe on a photo or picture from manual?

I just tried doing this but it makes me uneasy somehow :/
