dead mouse
 

short story even shorter i started the car up to go to work some days ago and a mouse was in the engine bay... well it is dead now and stinking. Question is, the 3 clips holding the engine cover up, do I just pull hard and they pop off "hopefuly without beaking" or is there an easier way to remove these

please help THERE ARE MOGGOTS NOWWWWWWWWWWZZ! some fell on my hand when taking the bolts out lol.

The front portion will slide forward.

i mean the engine cover that has to be removed before changing your oil, is tht what you are talking about Kenchan? or the engine cover ontop the engine?

Engine covers are on he top. Most rodents eat spark plug harness so I thought you were talking about that. :D

For the bottom you'll need to remove like 12+ 10mm fasteners.

:worthless:

ya i think they over did it with the bolts, there are 3 clips that hold it on after taking the bolts off. Was wondering if i should be yankin these off or is there a better way.

lol was wondering who would be the first, when i take the cover off ill snap a pic if i can find him.

sorry if i confused you, i mean the engine undercover not engine cover. the 3 pastic clips to that.

Nooooooooo Beat me to it :ughdance:

I usually use a flat head screw driver and insert into one of the two little "tabs" for lack of a better word. Just wedge the clip down and itll pop loose. It always sounds like you cracked something but if you use patient force it should be fine.

Are you talking about the back flap portion of the undercover? See this picture

I hope the Z is not going to have issues with rodents eating at the wiring like on Honda Accord. I just spent 4 hrs this weekend working on my girls 2004 Accord for rats eating thru the knock sensor wire harness. Was a major PITA.

yes
