Default there are little plastic "bolt" type things...
i think <i>about</i> four. you can remove them with a flat head screw driver, just wedge it in and pop them up. after they're all out, you'll feel it shifting around a little bit, just take 'em out and you're ready!

Default Push the centers of the fastners in slightly and then pull up on the fastner. Don't push the center
in to much of you will pop out the pin.

Be ready to order more plastic rivets from your dealer. You'll break some.
