PIXMA iP8720 doesn't detect cover is closed - how to fix?

The cover of the printer has a longer plastic prong that dips into the body of the printer which presses some sort of lever which tells the printer that the cover is closed. I had a shipping issue where something has either broken off inside the printer body or otherwise doesn't catch the prong, so the printerhead is always out, as if the cover is up.

Is there a guide or some knowhow as to how to go about opening up the printer (it's long out of warranty anyway), so I could potentially fix it?

Thanks!
