Default Reaching Rear Spark Plugs

Any tips on how to reach the four rear spark plugs to replace? These sit directly beneath a plastic cowling that runs along the base of the windshield, so not enough clearance to work a plug socket and extension down from above. Was able to carefully bend the coil-on-plug units enough to get them up and out of the tubes, but couldn't go any further from there.

May be that cowling can be disassembled to make room to come down from above?

Yes, that's what's needed. I've posted some info on that here:
