Prising out scuttle clips is not required, you run the risk of scratching the scuttle panel and damaging the head of the clips, without mentioning the fact they have a habit of flying off in differant directions.

Stick some parcel tape or similar over the heads of the clips and gently lift the scuttle panel, the clips will remain in situ with the panel.

Or as I do, being into this area more often than most people......

Place your thumb of your right hand over the extreme nearside clip, and your thumb and ring finger of the left hand over the next two clips.
A sharp upwards tug, starting with the clip under your right hand will release it without damage, then after pocketing the clip, do the same with the remaining two.

Job done.

When replacing the upper shield, a spray of silicone, or "back to black" on the rubber seals will aid immensely the refitting process

Just a quick point JKR000030 is the correct part number but X-Part have now changed the number to JKR000031 so either is fine. As far as I know they do this when they change their supplier.

I have seen both the above methods used at nano's in my presents I myself would not use this method as I have also seen the front wind screen scuttle crack and break this way, if the person whom is doing the job first time round and is to enthusiastic when pulling upward, there stands a chance the scuttle could break.

As you can see below there is a void around the oval clip for a tool to be inserted so you can pop up the clip, by all means put your thumb or finger of your other hand over the top, or even use some masking tape over the clip while you prise the clip up but as always any method you choose to use be careful you are not in a race cheers Arctic.

You got a horse under your bonnet Steve?

Thanks Arctic.. if only the Haynes manual was this good!
Doing mine asap, filter so full of pollen it's probably got bees living in it, and I can renew the rubber drain tube that sits under the filter..
Silly tip.. when working under the bonnet, have the car facing into the wind so the bonnet doesn't come down and bang you on the head. Happens to me all the time and I still forget..

Hi Steve
Changed mine at the weekend but struggled to remove the ecu
If the ecu has never been out there is a locking lug that can been clearly seen in fig 17 Centre of the plastic slide

I had to gently push this in towards the windscreen with a long blade flat screw driver before I could budge the ecu from its slide

Good experience though

Regards
Steve
