How do I reinstall the plastic cowling over the brake fluid reservoir?
I had the dealer (hopefully) fix a brake fluid leak in the trunk a few weeks back. When they put things back together, they left off the black plastic cowling that normally sits over the brake fluid reservoir.
Now I'm trying to put it back on, but I'm having trouble figuring out if it should go in front or behind the other plastic pieces and the mounting bracket for the amplifier and generally how it's all supposed to fit back in there.
Does anybody have instructions on how to re-install this properly?
Thanks!

They tightened the connecitons coming out of the reservoir; looked like they were leaking. In any case, no more brake fluid in the trunk so far. Let's hope it stays that way (knock on wood).
As for the cowling, they were able to put it back on. There was a plastic half-cup-like piece that was actually meant to fit over the amplifier that I wouldn't have been able to figure out on my own. Also, it turns out that they must have lost a mounting bracket for the big plastic cover that goes over the reservior / ABS unit because it just wouldn't fit. They had to order a part and install it before they could put that back on.

Yeah, I would have asked for new carpeting and all that if it was still under warranty when it happened. I think it was like $500 for the replacement carpet bits so I thought I would try cleaning them myself instead. Seems to have worked out ok.
