Default How to move drivers seat bottom plastic trim cover to replace lumbar switch

Does anyone know how to or can point to a source that shows how to remove the bottom plastic trim on the drivers seat on the side (the plastic piece that the power seat controls stick out of)? I removed the three screws near the middle section and pulled part of the trim away. However, I don't know how to disconnect the left and right parts (viewpoint is from looking at the part with the driver door open). I'm so tempted to just yank it hard and deal with buying a replacement later. Actually If I knew how to disconnect the right side of this part I can get enough room to replace this lumbar switch. Thanks for any suggestions.

Thank you very much! Your PDFs appear to show all of the required information to do this. In my previous post I meant to say that I had 5 screws out. Your PDFs show at least 2 or 3 additional screws I need to take out. I guess I will have to lay on the back seat floor to see a couple of these screws.

LOL, It took me all this time to think that there is such a thing as a rachet screw driver that is low profile. I will buy one and I should be able to replace the switch without removing any of the remaining plastic trim screws which are hard to access.
