Bonnet air inlet access (under wipers)

[DustCloud]

How can I get in to the air bonnet air inlet (under wipers) to clean out stuff which finds its way in there, such as pine needles? There is no obvious access from under the bonnet that I could see.

Hi DustCloud, Here's a link from a forum member on how to remove the cowling for the bonnet air inlet and remove the leaves.
This calls out for someone to design a 3D print frame to hold fine stainless steel mesh to keep leaves out of this inlet area. Anybody?
