    Remove the motor first.

    Here is a good video: https://youtu.be/AIRHQWYW1WM

    I did mine a few months ago.

    Seems a little different than the ecs instructions but I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the tip

    How'd it go? I had a LOT of issues with mine but I got tired off the clips and just pressed on the bottom piece until it popped off.

    haven't even attempted to try it again since im in the process of doing quite a bit of other jobs to the car. did you just push down the bottom piece with some pressure?

    My first one took two hours. Second took 15 minutes.

    One broken clip on the first, none on the second

    Best advice we can give is to take your time. Reading over the install instructions a few times helps as well.

    Yeah. I broke one clip and I did it on both an RS5 and my S4 so I'd say to just go that route if you're tired of trying.
