Removing back panel from second row center seat

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Hi friends,

Does anyone have any experience with successfully removing the felt covered plastic back panel from the second row center seat?

It seems to be firmly stuck where the seat release switch is located. I am not sure if there is a way to separate the panel from the switch or if the switch must first be disconnected...

I would greatly appreciate any tips or advice!
 
The panel comes off with a plastic trim removal tool around the edges. There are several plastic posts that snap into sockets that have to be popped out.

I noticed that several were fully seated when I took delivery and lowered the seats and pressed down on the edges to firmly press them into place. Never took the back panels off however.
