Default 2007 Audi Q7 3.6 spark plug wire plastic cover

I am trying to figure out how to open/remove the spark plug wire black plastic cover without breaking it. Any ideas would be extremely appreciated. Thanks

I opened mine a few months ago, so don't remember the details. It's just a bunch of plastic tabs than snap in place, about one per cylinder. I released them with a small screwdriver, and after a few are released, they like to snap themselves back while working on the ones that you haven't got to yet. I thought lifting the cover would make spark plug replacement easier, and it might have, but I don't think it was necessary.

I don't remember much. I think I was gently prying up while releasing the latches somehow with the screwdriver. The service manual is no help, it says :"Remove cover strip".

You mean the coil pack? On top of the plug?
