- Installing the main plastic upper cover is MUCH easier with two people. It is kinda a PITA trying to line up everything with one person.

Just want to let others know, you DONT have to remove the left strut brace...use a shorter extension bar and you'll be fine.
Torque is 17 Ft Lbs and I notice it was more than a full turn after snugged....so if you dont have torque wrench....give it more than 1/2 turn
just FYI for others
