• I've just successfully changed the Lower Door Seal on our dishwasher - getting the top off was the most challenging part! You should also make careful notes of the screw types – fine threaded to go into metal and coarse threaded (like wood screws) to go into plastic. Seems like the fixings for the top have changed over the years. Our machine is from 2008 and has two 'wood' screws at the front and one (of three possible) 'metal' screws at the back – you need to undo all of these first. At the front the top has two big plastic blocks with locking lugs – you can see the lugs down little tunnels facing you. Use a screwdriver to push each lug back which will allow you to pull the top up at the front. At the back the top has two lugs sticking through the rear metal panel. Tug the top forwards to release it from these lugs. Hope this works for you By Andrew R - Hook - 12 January 2020
• Close the door. Pull the clip down slightly and lever out sideways By M S - west midlands - 20 June 2016

  The lid on most Bosch dishwashers slides and locks in place. We think that at the back there is a clip either side moulded into the top that needs to be released to prevent locking the lid in place.
