84 Hilux remove panel in front of windscreen?

[bretty]

hi all,
i need to reome the panel inbetween the windscreen and the bonnet on a 84 hilux. i need to give it a lick of paiont and attack some rust hiding under there.
i ve tried to remove it but having no luck, is there some trick or hidden clips or something?
thanks

There is clips/screws holding it down at the front which are hidden from view unless the bonnet is up. Taken these out?

It just wedges up under the windscreen rubber and after these screws/clips are removed it should slide out.

yeah yamaha i removed the screws and theres about 4 round black plastic things that i presume are clips but i could nt get them out. i tried to lever them out with a srew driver, but started to break them so i stoped doing that. is there a trick to removing the clips? or are just idiot proof

[shaunh]

should just come out mate, if you break them you can proabaly get the clips from supercrap or some other store
