Freezer drawer ice maker replacement

I seem to have a common problem where my ice maker would stop producing. Initially a reset would work with the button, then required a power cycle, now just doesn’t work.

Bought a replacement and trying to plan to swap it in tomorrow. I’ve see a video showing where to release the maker from the frame, but it’s not clear how to remove the cover that hoses the door to gain more access. It seems like it should slide forward based on what I can see from the roof. This cover also has one of the rails for the top drawer.

Freezer is still full and I’m not ready to put everything in coolers, so trying to plan. Also, one tip on an Amazon comment mentioned 2 screws to remove the frame. Everything looks to be torx which I don’t have a full set of. Any idea the size so I’m not running out after dumping the food out?

Ice maker is 12028493.
