Another tip,don’t try to remove them in cold weather as the plastic tabs tend to snap off,when I’ve removed them in the past I usually warm them with a hair dryer or heat gun which makes them easier to remove. Andy.

Robin, L494 doesn’t have the same side vents - it has a tiny trim fake “vent” on each wing and two large vents on the top of the bonnet that on some models vent hot air out. The air intakes of an L494 are cleverly integrated on the wing top but under the edge of the clamshell bonnet so it is very difficult to get any water down them.

Another tip,if it’s the L494 vents then the ones on the wing,get some fishing line or something similar & slide it along the 2 fins that go to the rear of the vents as they are held on by double sided tape Andy.
