Under Hood Cloth

Hi Guys

I have a 05 corolla s. I want to install some new windshield washer nozzles i bought, but cant seem to get the cloth beneath the hood off with out breaking the clips.
Is there a way to get those clips off? would I need a special tool?

THanks,

Chris

For your information..

I managed to take of the cloth with breaking 2 clips. Hardest thing i every did. I took a pair of scissors and squeeze the clips in to make them pop off.
After taking the cloth off, i realized its impossible to get the stock nozzles out since the under hood metal wielded to the hood is covering and blocking them. Bad design by toyota i must say.
I don't know what people would do once the nozzles go bad....

Hey, yea the cloth is a PITA, i have mine off....permanently to say the least lol. I had aftermarket nozzles for a while too, i did manage to get them in, but after a few months of winter weather, they broke because of the akward angle....havent got around to replace them yet :-)
