Ok, I have been going crazy searching the internet looking for instructions on removing the seat control panel, on the right side specifically. The front part and the top comes off easily enough, but I can't seem to get the back of the panel to release and I don't want to break anything. There are like three (FOUR if you count the seat belt cover) separate trim pieces that come together on the side of the seat and as much as I look at the three parts individually on the internet, I can't wrap my head around how they are joining together and what is holding who where?

Anyone ever take these off successfully?

THX!!
