Default Anyone know how to do this?

I bought a brake reservoir cover from MBA before they went out of business and I can't figure out how to put it on. I guess the only way is to pull up the trim far enough to slip the cover over the reservoir, but I don't know how the tabs (arrow) come out of the trim. Anyone know?

I had my cowl panel removed...it slid right on with the added clearance...it's not hard to remove a few of those clips and pull up on the cowl panel...

Ok, but how do the clips come out? It doesn't seem real obvious to me.

Stick a small flatblade screwdriver into the slot on top of the connector. The center part will pop up, allowing the fastener to pull out.
