Reaching back bolts on ML350 Engine Cover?
Hey all, I have been searching for hours, I cannot find how to reach the back two bolts on the engine cover. 2012 ML350 4matic gasoline. I have removed the middle two, and even some parts of the upper area of the barrier.

Here are the instructions from WIS. See picture 2 and the part labelled "1s". I just did this on a C300 which is a similar setup with slight variation.
The 2 bolts at the back are down in the 2 holes that you see at the back. Just need a long extension to reach it. If you have a magnet, will be helpful to pickup the bolts and when putting them back in. Just loosen then all the way, slowly remove your socket and then with the magnet pick them both up. This will ensure that the bolts don't fall out when lifting the intake off. Reverse to install.
