Just a quick help, i`m removin my scuttle panel

[MadGT]

had a look in the index to see if there was anythin to help me, and i used the search function, but to no avail,
i need to remove the front wipers so i can respray the arms and i need to remove the scuttle panel so i can clear out any cr@p thats under there and while i`m at it i might as well grease up the links for the wipers as i can some times hear a slight grindin noise when i use my front wipers,
all i need to know is apart from the screws is there anythin i need to look out for when i pull the plastic,
ie any hidden clips that could maybe snap.

Bravo, why settle for less

AFAIK nothing hidden that could snap.

Nothing much to look out for, 7 or 8 screws running around the bottom of the scuttle panel from what I remember, then there are clips holding it in at the windscreen, just pull gently and it'll pop out.

Other thing to remember is when taken it off with the bonnet still in place you need to pull it up at the middle first to get each end to clear the bonnet mounts.

HTH

Cheers again Si, i had a look for when you said that you had done it, maybe you should do a guide for this as i`m sure people will ask in the not to distant future

No worries mate

As for the guide, I'll have to see what I can knock up.

Bravo, why settle for less
