After romoving the factory head unit from an '08 Sonata GLS, I want to route a cable into the small compartment below the heat/AC controls. How do I remove the panel so I can get access to the rear of this compartment? I've removed the two screw (the ones under the trim strip), but there seems to be other places where it is attached.

Thanks, Brian
