I'm referring to the car's right side. I tried to take off the cover (3 8mm bolts) but two plastics clasps were too hard for me to release, particularly the rear one.

That's alot of box for that! That might explain the mystery scoops in the main vent, since they do seem to be under that box.

Remove the two bolts, pull really hard maybe with an engine hoist, those plastic clips will release.

BTW, that was a joke. Don't really take an engine hoist to your ECU cover. But then, you already knew that...

LOL. I just whacked at it with a tire iron (tarr arrn in TX) until the clasps gave up. As my grandpa used to say "Never force anything, just get a bigger hammer."

My grandpa's motto was "If it sticks, force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway."
