once the buttons are removed. the black blanking one. hazard light switch and rear heated window.

there is 4 torx bolts holding the panel in.

you need a very small screwdriver to pop out all the switches 1st tho

Tried, basically all that's accomplished is breaking the blank button 2 in from left, nothing wants to come out!

I put a very small screw driver underneath my display and pulled it forward? No problemo?

same here.

obviously dont put the screwdriver all the way in. you only need to put it in a few mm to pop it off
