Hi Auto

The cross panel under the windscreen is fixed with 2 screws each side.
These screws are hidden under the triangular covers at each end of the cross panel.
The covers unclip but not easily.
Push down from the top and pull out at the bottom of the cover.
The clips are little plastic projections cast as part of the cover.
They often break off when the covers are removed.

I always unclip the end covers at the top first, then push down to unclip the bottom hooks, to avoid breakage.
