    Hi all
    Any tips on removing the plastic cowling under the wipers? I'm trying to get to one of the guard bolts thats hidden under there. Ive removed the 5 plastic screws under the bonnet but there's some clips still holding it down that won't release easily and I'm worried about breaking the panel. Not sure if it should slide one way to release.
    Thanks

    If I recall correctly you just have to pull up.
    I had the cover off, but it has been a year or two

    Thanks you were right it just pulls up but takes a lot of force.
    There are 7 clips under there and 6 of them broke as I pulled it out.
