Removing Shifter Panel. HOW?

Hi guys,

Need a quick help.

I'm trying to access to the shifter area (inside). The panel where the shifter and navi is, read from some where that all i need is to yank it out right? But, I've try and the panel seems stuck. I didn't wanted to break anything, so here I am, asking if anyone else that has tried removing the panel, please advise if there's a technique of doing so.

Thank you so much for any help.

Side a screwdriver wrapped in electrical tape between the silver trim and the black pieces. Twist slightly, and you'll hear a click and it'll become lose. Go around the edge like that, and it'll pop right off.

Exactly. Just pry gently. Scared the crap outta me the first time I took mine off, but really is no big deal.
