Default 2007 Focus LT brake reservoir access

Evening people,
Can some one enlighten me as to how one gains access to the top of the brake fluid reservoir please?
Seems a dumb design to have it hidden under the plastic scuttle cover.
Is there a trick to this?

Cheers,
Max Heazlewood

the plastic shelf above the brake resevior is removable. It has a few press clips along the front and I think you remove wiper arms as well.

Thanks for your reply.
That sounds like a bit of a PIA!
I want to fit a pressure bleeder to do the whole system as I'm replacing rotors front and rear along with new pads front and rear.
Otherwise i will use my normal one man bleeder fitted with a non return valve.
I'm servicing this car for a friend and there is no record of when the fluid was changed.
