steering column cover removal

Doing the light switch install for the new fog lamps, what's the eeeasiest way to pop the cover after removing the three screws-- I'm trying to be gentle with my new baby. Thanks

I just had to kind of play with it to get it off I didn't have any technique but I got it off and back togeather in one piece.

I just went out again and tried to separate the top and bottom covers with no luck, I hate to start prying with tools and marking up that pretty plastic. Any other suggestions?

just took off screws and pulled mine right off...dont remember if there were just 3 but if there are just 3...look carefully and then pull it off...

adjust the wheel all the way up, then pull down on the rear of the bottom half. Put some force in it. It should pop off, for the top half, then put the wheel all the way down and manuvuer it of the column.

gently with a thin blade flat head screwdriver in an unconspicuous area. Popped right off with no marring
