You shouldn't have to remove the cover to replace the alternator but the 2 bolts are between the dash and the cover. If you have some things like a cup holder remove it and look carefully and you will see one on each side. Good luck

The engine cover does not need to be removed to replace the alternator. The two top cover bolts are between the dash and the cover, one on each side; remove a cup holder if present and look carefully to find them.
