Default Remove Plenum Cover

I'm trying to get the Plenum cover (black plastic cover that covers the ECU) off so I can clean out some drains to prevent water from filling up my passenger side. Are there any tricks to get it separated from the glass? I got the front part apart but I can get it to give away from the glass.... all help would be appreciated!

You'll need to remove the wiper arms, it can be tricky to remove them and I would suggest you to have a small wiper arm puller so you dont damage the treads. After that just carefully pull it off , if it breaks it will cost you around 90$ to replace it.

Thanks for the help. I finally figured it out, I think I just needed some better lighting. I couldn't get it all the way off because the puller I had was too large to get the driver's side wiper off, so I just took off the passenger side and rotated the cover around. I thought cleaning the drains would be much easier than it was looking at the service manual, but I could only get so much. Super huge pain.
