This cover over the top of the engine, to access the spark plugs, how does this remove? Im thinking it probably has snaps of some sort. Is there anything special I need to know before I start pulling on this thing? does it just come straight up?
This is my first jeep and Ive never seen such a thing, Is this cover just for aesthetics or does it actually serve some redeeming value?

It just snaps in/out at each corner, i've taken it out plenty of times to clean underneath it, just need to line it up correctly when putting it back on.

Its there to make the engine look prettier I guess and it serves as sound deadening

Not true! You should have heard my rants, raves, and curses the first time I tried to remove mine! Pretty noisy in my garage...
