Once you get the top "material" out of the way, you can pull the carpet off the top of the engine cover. There will be 4 plastic "twist locks". Flip one half of the locking mechanism up and simply "twist" It *should* be a counter clockwise rotation. It should take nearly NO effort for them to twist and release. They will break. Take your time.

This is the top material up and out of the way.. and the carpet up and out of the way. The engine lid itself has multiple "gold/cad" colored twist locks that hold it to the chassis. These have a small wire "hoop" on them. Flip the hoop up and "twist" it will release the engine lid, simply lift it off when you have all of them released.




Engine lid off:
