Technical Cowl removal..

[zippeyrude]

I'm parting out an old panda and was going to salvage the power steering unit

I'm stuck at the stage of plastic cowl removal.

I've removed two small torx screws on the underside, with a further screw hole not affixed that was below the steering height adjuster.

Is there something else I need to do?

I've seen as 2012+ image with clips, wondering if this was the same?

Mine is a 2008 active.

Any tips appreciated!

I doubt id get to them even with the steering wheel off.

Any suggestions for removal, brute force?

If you plan to sell the steering motor, the steering wheel will need to come off.

I done a few ignition switches

As far as I remember I slid an old credit card or guitar pick in

I can't remember if it's the top half that needs to push in or the bottom

Have you undone the hidden bottom screw
