Question How do I remove the console rear trim with the AC vents?

I need to remove the rear trim piece from my 2014 TSX wagon console (the part with the vents for the rear seats.) All of the pics "imply" it just clips in but before I start jerking on it, I figured I ask if any knows. I did try prying a little at the top and bottom but it never popped off. Better safe than sorry.

Any help appreciated!

Your CRAP posts are just that; maybe take them elsewhere.
you have NO CLUE how to remove the part yet you took the time to CRAP in the OP thread. maybe go watch jeopardy and guess at that/

your generic CRAP POST is just that/

OP if you can wait tonight I can get out the manual and get you something more specific in case its nots just a PRY IT OFF.
even if it is the manual usually shows you the contact points to help.

justinspace could be right but he could be way OFF BASE TOO.

hey, rob, tell us how you really feel!

so, you think drinking a beer is crap!?
or the butter knife wrapped in a cloth so you want mess up the interior is crap!?

true, it is a "general" post, but it does convey how to take something with clips off, without damaging interior pieces.

plus, it was intended to be funny.

Robpp, thanks for that. As the new guy I was trying to tread lightly. Certainly I can wait. I appreciate any useful information.
