I actually have the same problem are you doing this because your washer nozzle doesnt spray on either the drive or passenger? Mine only works for the passenger. I also would like to know how to remove it.

hahah well as long as your car doesnt catch fire I think your fine right? I was told those were there because if the car catches fire the clips break off and it falls onto of the fire. And so far I dont think anyone here has had a TL catch fire.

i just asumed it helped keep sound to a minimum. me thinks plastic melting over a burning engine would be a bad thing.

If you guys would head to the auto parts store they sell clip tools for just a few dollars. It makes removing them alot easier, and less likely to break them
