Pull harder... it's normal that it feels like it's gonna break. Make sure to lube the rubber mounts w/ some vaseline before putting it back on.

keep pulling until. There are 4 rubber mounts as Dragon explained. The best thing to probably do is tug on each corner firmly, but not wildly. The cover should come off, nd make sure you dont lose any of those rubbers on the cover.

pull, swear, pull harder, repeat.

u want to do it when the engine is cold.

U want to steadily increase the amount of pull pressure, otherwise u'll crack it.

is it ok that it slips off easily? mine seems to come off right away and it's my first time trying. should i go to the dealer and get another one?

Make sure your rubber mounts are in place...

Maybe the dealer had to take it off to check something?

just a regular pull and it's off. the rubber mounts are there and in place. i guess it's ok since i'll be putting an intake soon.

Will the cover not fit after cold air intake? Sorry for off topic post.

nope it wont..... in order to have both u either trim the engine cover (there is a tread i made about doin it) or buying the neuspeed carbon fiber (300bucks) or the evoms (100bucks).
