Default How to install factory plenum cover?

Can someone please post instructions on how to install the factory plenum cover?

Also please do not state the obvious I already know what you unplug.

I just don't know what to do at that point, 1 of the black fasteners is impossible to remove.

Do you have to unscrew the throttle body screws and replace them?

Looks like it just fits on and you probably screw it on in 2 places in frotn and 2 in the back,

You just need to pull these black caps off. Pull hard they will come off, then start with the front first once you have changed out the screws for the ones that come with it. Put front on and then set the back down and then replace the black caps. And yes, you need to unscrew the tottle body screws and replace them with the ones that came with the cover

I decided to take my car back to my local Ford dealer.

I recently had a major water leak issue that has been apparently resolved.

I'm having them install my plenum cover and hood blanket, we'll see how that goes.
