I need to remove the panel that includes the ash tray, mirror controls, and convertible top control. They are over due for a visit to StickyNoMore. It seems easy to remove, but I want to be sure so I don't damage anything. There is a screw under the foam rubber in the storage slot. After I remove that screw (and the ash tray & wiring), I see nothing else preventing removal - but it is still holding tight. Do I need to (gently) pry the panel out of the surrounding console with a screwdriver - like you do with the radio panel? I assume the answer is yes, but it never hurts to ask.
