Okay, I'm a newbe to the Cadillac STS; how do you get the engine cover off (from the top of the engine). I've removed the power steering cap and the oil cap, and it seems that the top cover is fairly loose but I don't want to just lift it off if it's going to break some clip that I haven't yet removed. Any help out there (I'm sure it's a no-brainer but I haven't figured it out yet.

Update; I figured it out, no problems, it just pops off. It is retained by ball and rubber socket joints. My joints were just a little dry and didn't want to let loose (without a little extra effort). Before putting the cover back on, I smeared a scosh of silicone grease and they slide on effortlessly.
