How to - Fitting front upper strut brace for Skoda Superb II

[LuPuS]

How to:

Take off both wipers. Spray some wd40/oil penetrator and wiggle them of the shaft.

 

Remove both cowl trims. Start from the middle and pull them off gently. It's only "push fit" type fitting. You can use narrow nose pliers to make job easier.

Unscrew 2 torx bolts (t30 I think)

 

Remove metal "wall"

 

Remove plastic trims

 

REmove 6x 13mm suspension bolts. Do that in stages, not in one go.

 

Install strut brace - use same screws. They are long enough.

 

You will have to cut one trim (if you want. You can just leave hole). Other side can be left without plastic.

 

Metal "firewall" may need cutting if you really fussy. Mine is not cut, you just have to persuade it to fit
Put everything back together.

 

 

Most annoying job is to remove  wiper arms and cowl trim.
