  I just did it the other day
  Start by removing the rubber molding that goes from left to right of =
the car and across the cover then undo the two screws that hold the cove =
on.
  Pull the complete cover towards the front of the vehicle to break the =
seal, notice that there are three small clamps going across the cover =
(between the cover and back of motor) Take a small flat tip screw driver =
and pop them forward they'll snap off little bar thats molded into the =
cover but remain attached to the car. Thats all it took.
