I see the two (obvious) screws at the top back of the nose panel, but there must be 2 more at the front corners. How do I get to them?

Welcome to Nico! I see you posted in the wrong section but before I move it I want to know what vehicle you are working on?

I would assume your working on a S13 Vert.

sorry, no I'm working on a 96 300z. I want to get the nose panel out.

(I do have a 93 240 convertible I'm getting ready to sell)

The only bolts visible are the four you need removed. The black brackets are part of the nose panel too.

Got it, thanks. Finally figured out that the bracket sits on pins at the front and is bolted down with those two bolts at the back. Plus the two obvious ones through the panel. You guys have made me smarter already. Thanks

Earlier models only had two, so it's normal.
