How can I take off the plastic cover over the engine of a 2009 Corolla?

★ Top Answer

To take off the engine cover of a 2009 Toyota Corolla, first raise the hood and keep it in place with a support stick. The plastic shield covering the engine is situated in the central part of the bay. It is secured in position by 4 rubber tipped plugs that attach it to the motor. To remove it, gently lift the front of the shield and disconnect the two supporting plugs on each side. After releasing the front section, pull up on the two remaining fasteners located toward the back of the cover. These will come off easily, allowing you to lift off the piece from the engine without the need for any tools. The shield likely has insulation material on the other side, and the rubber tips of the plugs should be clearly visible.
