987 Pedal Upgrade

[nfesas]

Trying to install a pedal cover on my 987. The goal is to facilitate heel and toe. Here's a link to the one I bought:

There is a connector at the top of the pedal assembly. The assembly itself removes from the floor board easily enough, but I can't see how to remove the connector. Is there a special tool required? A special trick?

Any help would be much appreciated.

I should note that my car is a 2006 Boxster S.

Ok - I went ahead and drilled the necessary holes in the pedal assembly in situ. So you don't really need to remove the pedal assembly to do the install - at least not completely. I'd still like to learn how to undo the connector on the pedal assembly since I'd like to add at least one more screw to better secure the pedal cover and the logical place to do that appears to interfere with the pedal position sensor. Won't know for sure until I can pull the thing apart.

If anyone has any ideas - I'd like to hear them.

I'll ask my local Porsche dealer in the morning just the same. I'll post the results here for anyone doing the same mod in the future.

Just to close this out - wassn't able to connect with my local Porsche dealer. Went ahead and drilled a pilot hole for the third screw, taking care to not drill more than about 1/4". Still would have preferred to remove the pedal but wasn't able to figure it out. On to the next project. The guys at Rennline were very helpful in guiding me through the process.
