HELP! Engine Cover Removal.
I'm trying to replace my original airfilter with K&N airfilter. However, I couldn't figure out how to remove the plastic cover over the engine. Anyone have any idea how to remove the cover? New owner of 1999 CLK430.
Thanks guys.

Real Easy.
Disconnect 2 Plastic pieces connected to the front of the air box.
Next, Lift up the front of the enginecover (air box) and then lift up on the sides and then the back.
the sides and front are held down by clips. Just pull hard and they will pop out. The back is a friction fit with the air intake. Just lift up. There you go. To replace the filters, turn over the air box on it's top and loosen the screws with a torx screwdriver.
To replace the airbox, just lign up the clip and push down. You will feel them settle. Make sure theb back is on tightly because you don't want any dirt to go directly into the air intake.
then just replace the 2 plastic peices to the front of the air box.
Good luck.
