How do you remove the engine cover for 2007 Volkswagen Rabbit?

Careful not to break it like I did. Remove big clamp from air intake (about 4" diameter plastic hose) and the two torx screws that join the rectangular air intake to near the grill. Then it is just a matter of applying pressure, pulling up, one corner at a time. Like someone said, it's like pulling the cork out of a wine bottle.
