Default Interior Fuse Cover Removal

I've searched forums and google, and can't quite find an answer...

How do you remove the interior fuse cover on the tc (the one just below switches/mirror controls)? I have a rattle in there, and I want to clean up/zip tie some wires to shut it up, but I don't want to brute force it and break the plastic. Do I just stick my hand in and pull? Should I try to reach some sort of clip and squeeze? Open from top or bottom, left or right, straight out...?

Most I could find were walkthroughs for other things, where nobody actually says how to remove that cover.

haha... ok thanks. I just wanted to make sure before I do it. Not sure how strong the clips are that hold it in, and I don't want to break it.

Just yank. It's more of a _____ to get it back in place than anything. It's solid so don't worry about snapping it.

hmm.. i dunno.. after you take it off the first time.. it tends to get easier.

and it's a lot easier to put it back in.

btw.. there's nothing back there that's really pertinent for maintenance..
