You need to remove the centre bit first, there's two plastic nuts holding it down, one under the ashtray and one at the back under the junk-store :wink:

There's a third clip that you'll find once you remove it :wink:

I used an air chisel, but it's been a bit draughty and noisy since :lol: :lol: :lol:
