How do you remove the plastic trim thing that covers the pollen filter etc?

I tried pulling and poking and had no joy what so ever

cheers

it can be hard to get off. It clips into a slot along the bottom of the windscreen. Pull it upwards perpendicular to the screen and it will come out!

You can just see the slot on this photo. Hope it helps!

I tried pulling it earlier and snapped a piece of the plastic. I'll give it another go tomorrow.

Thanks again

Get you r fingers under the rubber seal at one end of the screen and pull away from the screen.

If you get what I mean

I just wedged a piece of something under it and slipped my hand under to replace the pollen filter, it can be done, just a bit tricky.

:iagree:

It isnt to change the pollen filter its to fit me hose through for my boost gauge, i ended up wedging it up and doing it like that but i still need it removed to tidy everthing up.

cheers guys

I broke the scuttle thing doing mine also tried to lever it off with a screwdriver not a good idea I ended up cracking the windscreen.

Thats y i kept away from it with a screw driver, i snapped the bit at the end near the plastic bit where all the wires go through.

Windscreen is insurance?!

Hope they don`t read Briskoda :P

Best of doing this on a warm day, or use a hair drier... makes the plastic a bit more forgiving - especially if this is the first time you have tried to remove the scuttle cover. Once you know what your doing it is much easier!

Did the same - couldn't figure it out and lost patience, ended up with a screw driver :( and cracked screen.

Yes widscreen was replaced by insurance co cost £50 xs and some embarrasment.

Do the stealers bother changing the pollen filter when supposed to during service or is it too much hassle for them?

Might give it a go tommorow - got all day to have a crack at it. I actually contemplated a screw driver & glad i didnt!

Cheers

Ive been trying this morning,tryed every thing sugested on hear but still no look after 3 houers,I can get it to slide a littel to each side but still not come out lifted front and looked under but can't see any clips.

Help please doing my head in:mad:

ok now got it off but broke it ,Does any one no how much a new one is,and weres the best place to buy

Skoda themselves...

What exactly were you upto - changing the pollen filter?

Bad luck mate, I gave up on mine, i also broke a part of mine. Someone suggested heating it up which seemed the best option to me.

Well Autoglass had it off quick smart when they replaced my cracked screen...just didn't get to see how :(

if any one as broken theres,i phoned a firm at portsmouth or pool just not sure which,he ad some in at £10 a side,Did not say if new or used,Went to a breakers this morning,and got one,he wanted £20 till i told him,and it came of a peace of p... lookerly a bit was stuck up,he would not let me put any thing in to wedge it,but did not have to.Should be easyer next time.

whish every one good look with theres.
