Default removing hush panel

does anyone know how to remove the hush panel? I dont see any screws and dont want to pull too hard and break it

clutch pedal/linkage still squeaks after the wd40 treatment so i want to access the linkage hidden by the hush panel.......also tried greasing the firewall entry point as well.

thanks!

I would try spraying the return spring also...its clearly visible up under the dash at the clutch pedal hinge point.

No disassembly reqd.

A hush panel for integration into an automobile includes a first section having a first channel-forming portion and a second section having a second channel-forming portion. The first and second sections are attached together via a hinge section. The first and second sections pivotable relative to each other about the hinge section such that the first section mates to the second section with the first channel-forming portion and the second channel-forming portion aligning to form a duct in the hush panel. A method for forming the hush panel is also disclosed.
