Shifter cover slide broken ... need pointer(s)
There is a gaping hole near the shifter base. It is the sliding plastic piece that moves with the shift lever.
I traced the part
https://www.lexuspartsnow.com/parts/...975-30240.html
There are DIY that lead me deep enough to what looks like one layer above the broken part.
Has any one replaced the part? Do I hope that I can simply remove the next layer without taking the shifter out.
Help.

1. You can drop something in there.
2. If the pieces turn around, they may prevent shifting ,.. then I will have to resort to breaking it up further (more than 2 pieces and the tiny pieces can get in places you dont want.
Reasons not to fix it:
Process is too elaborate
Price of the part (which is not too much)

I had issues with mine catching so I had to lay it back down again but after that it re-installs just like its removed.

We are all humans, but I did find the link to change the bulbs/leds, but not how to go one step further.

I am grateful for the guidance. Once the tabs are pulled out, a layer comes off. There is yet one more layer before I get to the slider. I think I am over thinking the problem ... once I get there, it would be obvious to figure it out.
Salim
ps: It just could be that picture sandwiched between step 6 and step7 , is where the slider is. My mistake as I thought that I need to go one more layer.

Thanks for confirming. It should have been obvious and i I was overthinking it.

Installed the part last night. The old one was too crisp ... no wonder it broke off. Had to go back and twist the shifter another 180 degrees before Mrs could spot my mistake.
Thank you sakataj.
