Hi Alan,
 
	Sorry for the delay in replying as I have just seen your post.
 
	I removed that panel so I could cover it in matt black vinyl to match the rest of the interior.
 
	All you need is a very thin lever to slip under the mouldingand prise it up allthe way round.
 
	I used a stainless steel spatula from my wifes cooking tools, It is about 20mm wide.
 
	hope this helps if you have not yet removed it.
 
	GS
