Having trouble getting center console off!!

[DrScoles]

For anyone who has got this thing off, do I need to remove the center (between the seats) console to get the part that covers the radio off? I've got it back off the radio and controls, but I think there is a lip on the bottom that is being held down by the center piece that covers the shifter... Much less fun to take off :-(

Any advice would be great!!

Thanks, Mike
