How do I take the Cover Off the Relay Box in the Boot/Trunk 1990 XJS V12

Hi I want to get to the Relays on my 1990 XJS V12 especially the Fuel Pump Relay which on a UK Car is in the Boot/Trunk Drivers Side.

They are right up in the Corner by the Drivers Side Boot/Trunk Hinge and have a Shiny Plastic Cover over them.

Which appears to be held in Place by Two Plastic Fasteners.

So how do I get this Plastic Cover off?

They are not the usual turn screw type but more like big plastic rivets.

If anyone can tell me what these Relays are that would also be useful although I think the Fuel Pump Relay is right next to the very big Relay (whatever that one does?)

I have just PM'd you. This cover is NOTHING to do with your problem.

FYI, the cover is fixed to the carpeted trim, and you have to remove the carpeted trim to get in there, NOT the cover. Read my PM!
