Default How to remove plastic engine covers?
Has anyone figured out how to remove the plastic covers on the engine without destroying the plastic pop-rivets?

https://www.clublexus.com/gallery/sh...0/ppuser/17617



Planning a ham radio install and need to run some 12V into the cabin.

Thanks,
Steve

The silver cover has 2 x 10mm bolts at the front.
The black covers have plastic "pins". Push in the center, then they'll lift out. To re-install them, just "reset" the pin.
