    It's held in by clips, I have the manual but they are all held in the same way, you can pull it off with your hands, start at the top and just pull back, to take the piece off near the shifter you need to unscrew the shift knob and it should just lift right off but make sure you take the waterfall off first then the piece near the shifter, it makes it easier that way.
