Default How to remove/clean the console around the gear lever

I have a couple of spills around the gear box area, and the 2nd start and power button are stuck, also the heater seat buttons are also sticky. Is there anyway, I can remove the brown panel and clean it from inside.

Also, I recently replaced the Nakamichi CD changer, it works fine but now, I started to hear some low continous sound. i hear it only when I remove my foot from accelerator while driving. I dont know if it has something to do with insulation behind the CD changer.

Thank you

Removing Rear Console Panel:
a) Remove the shift lever **** *Hi-Low* or you may not have to; depending on your cleaning level. b)Using screwdriver tip, remove the rear console panel. 4 Clips are under it about an inch down from top & an inch up from bottom on sides. Hint use a small screwdriver so you and tape end to pry it up without damaging the panel.
I hope this helped you.

Thank you for your reply.
but I still can't figure out how to do this. The console is very tightly conected to both sides and with the upper console, and when I pushed the screw driver I could feel that it may break. Is there any pictures of the positions of the clips so that I know how to remove it.
