Hi there, Can anyone tell me how to remove the windscreen scuttle on the C4GP series 2 (B78). Need to get in to remove a lot of leaves I can just see (I suspect courtesy of a mouse!) I have had a try but don't know if it needs a sharp tug or if I'm missing releasing some fixings. Can't seem to find anything on forum search. Feel a bit silly as I'm sure it will be simple! Thanks. 2.0 Exclusive Plus. |

Have you taken the wipers off? |

Hi vexorg, thank for replying. Haven't taken the wipers off yet, but I can see that I will have to take them off eventually to remove the scuttle. At the moment I can't see how to loosen the scuttle to do that. There is the plastic top piece with the grilles in and a lower section with deadening felt. Both of these seem to go the whole width of the car. I've removed a few bolts on the bottom bit but nothing seems to move much. Do I just give a big tug, or am I missing something? Any pictures? Thanks |

Post a photo of the whole scuttle panel, mine looks to be a bit different. It wasn't too much to work out how to get it off after the wipers were off, just some gentle pulling and trial and error | ||||

Attached (I hope) is a picture of the whole scuttle and a picture showing the gap between the top and bottom panels and a bolt between them. It does look like, having removed that one bolt in the middle the whole top panel should just pull away (yes, I have to remove the wipers). I'm worried that if I just tug and hope there are some hidden fixings or clips. Or am I just being a wimp?! Well, no pictures seem to load. Tried to follow the instructions both above the reply box and in the help section but can't get them to work. Am I really that hopeless? |

You cannot post pictures unless you are a premier member. You can upload pictures to a hosting site like Flickr and then post a link, or you can make a short video, upload to Youtube and post a link to that. Or you can become a premier member! |

AH HA! There we go! Thanks Routemaster So, I want to remove the top grille bit. Do O just remove that centre bolt and pull (having removed the wipers)? |

Done it at last! It is indeed simple when you know how. Remove the windscreen wipers and the single bolt in the middle, then `peel back' the scuttle from one end, across the width of the car. Do not pull forwards. It is a press-fit into the channel at the bottom of the windscreen (shown by arrow). Needed a puller to remove the windscreen wiper arms by the way. (can't seem to get pictures to work now!) |
