Removing scuttle panel

[5GTIR]

Hi there,

Does anyone know how or have any experience of removing the plastic scuttle panel. I can release the clips at the front no problem, but the plastic screws or fixings at the back I cant seem to budge! I don't want to force it and risk breaking it, and I'm sure there must be a method of removing it properly without causing any damage.

Any help would be appreciated as I'm trying to conduct heat dissipation experiment through using different size bonnet spacers, but I cant do it untill I removed this bloody scuttle panel!

From what I can remember when i removed mine, there were 4 screws, 1 each side and 2 near the centre. Also had to remove the wiper arms from their splines. It then just lifted off..

there are clips that you have to 'flick out' but cover them with your hand otherwise you wont find them again, and as above wiper arms off, hopw that helps
