Squeezing it will allow a bit of room to stick something in to pop it out. You can use a flat-head but be careful in scratching or use a rubber removal tool.

Like using the thumb and index finger on opposite sides of the ring (like at the top and at the bottom) squeeze and it should open a small gap.

It's kinda hard to explain but if you just fiddle around you'll be able to get it.

You may want to do the door handle trim as well. That one has a slot at the very bottom for a flat-head. You can tape the tip to avoid damage.

Stick a screwdriver in the 1 o clock position. If I remember correctly, there are 3 tabs at the 11, 2, and 6 o clock positions. It doesnt take much to pop it off.
