Steering Column Cover

Does anybody have any idea How to do this? I already removed the two screws behind the wheel and removed the bottom part but for the life of me I cant figure out how to remove the damn little leather rag thats holding on to the top half. I know its a clip... but I dont understand it and I think im starting to break it. Help

If memory serves... remove the cluster hood (1 screw). After that there are two screws for the gauges. Remove gauges and you should gain access to what you need.

If you cant find it, any auto parts store will have it in the body shop/trim area of it, 3M automotive trim bonding tape I believe....

I managed to remove it! Just wedge you fingers in between the plastic plate and it will eventually clip out. Apply preassure... Its pretty flexible so it wont break (which was my main worry)
