Need Diagram - Cowl area of hood

Does someone have a diagram showing how to remove the cowl area of the hood so that I can get to the windshield wiper hose underneath?

I removed a few screws but it still feels tight in there and I don't want to break anything.

This is on my 2005 c230.

awesome! Thanks for the pic, but it doesn't show me how many screws are in that thing! I think there are three, but when I take those three out, it still feels like something is holding it in tight.

Ok, I have the three screws out of the bottom, but this black plug in the center on the top seems to be where it's hung up.

Does this plug come out and reveal a screw underneath? Is it attached here at all?

I can't answer your question, but thats actually a sensor so be careful with it.

I tried to pry the grille out but a couple of little black clips snapped and fell out. It's still in pretty tight somewhere. Should it be this difficult?
