Scuttle removal - Gen 4 was created by fordem

Has anyone removed the scuttle on a gen 4 and would like to share how it's secured? There are plastic "rivets" near the front edge, but it's not clear how the rear edge is fastened.

I'd like to mount something up near the top of the firewall and need to know what's behind there before I start drilling holes.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

I'm sure my Bravo snorkel came with the instructions, but this is from the WS manual.

Remove wiper arms, remove bonnet, undo clips on leading edge (the middle pops out, flat ended screw driver does the job). Then yank up at each end to release the friction clips.
