Default Ash tray stuck, need to remove the AC controls, how to?

I searched, & went to the tech post. I tried the CC with tape, and a knife with tape, didn't help.

I can see the top 2 clips for the ac, but I'm not sure how to release them. I pushed down really hard, and pulled, nadda.

Take radio out. They are accessible from behind IIRC.

Default I know you take the radio out, I need help removing the AC

I can see the clips, with the radio out. I just don't know how to unclip them. How much force must be used.

Default just unclip the wood panel by pulling up wards on the back, pull it out and reach underneath

and pull out ash tray, as for fixing it were both at a loss
